Hey there, it's nice to meet you!
I am a Toronto-based artist a recent graduate of OCAD University's Illustration program. I have a passion for visual storytelling and for exploring themes of nature and technology. By combining the real and imagined, I love creating images as a way of inviting others into weird and whimsical spaces.
Additionally, I'm very interested in environmental conservation and would be excited to contribute to projects that support sustainable initiatives. When I'm not at my desk, you can often find me adventuring (and potentially lost) outdoors!
Feel free to reach out if you think that I might be a good fit for your project, or simply to say hello!
