I grew up between the muddy Illinois river and the shores of Lake Huron, raised on making things from scratch (thank you, Mom) and deep dives into how stuff works (thanks, Dad). I studied creative writing & Spanish in the train capitol of the Midwest, then worked in education & event planning before turning to design & illustration.
To paraphrase George Orwell, so long as I remain alive and well I shall continue to feel strongly about letters and colors, to love golden hour on the surface of the earth, and to take pleasure in textiles and trying to understand the stars. I believe in expanding public services and spaces, books, Oxford commas, and working toward a more creative and just future.
