I’m a writer-illustrator by day, gamer by night, and hypochondriac 24/7.

I found my artistic voice watching Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and the manic enthusiasm of tween actors in Go-Gurt commercials. I’m a Cannes Young Lion-award winning creative director turned comics artist and have received critical acclaim for my dance moves by my mom.

Though I love coloring like an episode of Rugrats or Adventure Time, I write stories that live in the darker corner of fantasy, exploring characters who suffer from chronic anxiety, psychological puppeteering, and a conflicted sense of belonging. Yikes. But always with a cereal spoonful of whimsy to help readers escape their everyday to a place with just enough magic.

When I’m not doodling at home in Downtown Brooklyn, New York, you can catch me in a train or plane pretending to write important thoughts in my red pocket Moleskine, usually en route to another comic con where I give talks on identity design for indie artists and sell tchotchkes you can pin on your jean jacket.
