ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am a multidisciplinary illustrator based in Chicago, IL. Drawing inspiration from my love of movies and retro pop culture, each work I create has special attention to detail that is intertwined with a playful and inviting presence.
Also known for my keen sense of color and the overall versatile nature of my work, I am well-versed in a wide array of both traditional and digital media. As I build my career as a professional illustrator and graphic designer, I strive for every project to be engaging and unique because I believe that even art that is used in everyday life has the potential to be something fun and eye-catching.
