illustrator & concept artist
many of these projects are in their beginning stages, have slow production time, or are very long term projects that I can only work on when I have the time. I want to be open and share what I want to work on, but many of these are not set in stone or do not get frequent updates. I am a full-time student as well as a small business owner, but I always want to make the time to dedicate myself to my personal passion projects :)

PROJECTS
a little something for
everyone :)
"Do Your Friends Love You" is a love letter to my own personal life and the struggles I have faced in during my time in college. In a way, I consider it a sort of "psychological autobiography", as many of the topics covered are ones near and dear to my personal experiences and relationships. I wanted to tackle some of the trauma that can come with simply everyday friendships and relationships, as well as the struggle of wading through life battling clinical depression.
This project is a short indie RPG Maker game that uses a conversation-style gameplay to portray what it feels like to grow up alone and lose friends in the nature flow of life. This project is for my Art School Senior Showcase.
"The House of Raolet" is a webcomic I have been working on for nearly five years now., and it tells the story of a young wizard navigating a world of prejudice and secrets regarding himself and his family as he finds friends in unlikely places along the way. It has been a passion project of mine, and it has been a wonderful outlet to work through some of my own problems as well as give myself the opportunity to tackle some harder topics I have always wanted to cover. This holds a lot of nostalgia for me, and I always wanted Sam to feel like that happy protagonist people can look towards for a little joy.
Go check out what I have so far on Webtoon Canvas!!
"Another Sunny Day in the Void" is a horror comedy webcomic following the antics of six clowns that run a circus that is corrupted by an alternate dimension called the Other Plane and the monsters it houses. Lead by Ringleader Cupid, the performers send their audiences to this other world to keep the monsters at bay, protecting the clowns until their next show. Follow their crazy everyday life as well as learning more about their dark secrets and endless list of crimes!
I've wanted talk about the ideas of painful nostalgia and the loss of childhood, but in a form that is easier to swallow. I can't wait to share these new ideas with the world! :)

A while back, I wrote a short magazine that took the form of a love letter to the struggle of mental health. It contains many of my personal experiences as well as the experiences of others in regard to the struggle of living trapped or unheard. I wanted this to be a voice for people who battle mental illness everyday but do not feel like they can be understood. This magazine is an opportunity to let people know that they are heard and to help others understand the life of some who struggles with mental illness.
I am in the middle of publishing this into a physical form, and once it is published, will become a listing on my personal shop.
