Who?
• Graduated in School of Visual Arts Animation Class of 2020 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

• I seek to entertain people the same way these things entertained me- by instilling both hopeful and youthful joy and wonder in my artwork and cartoons.
• I've been practicing in my fields of expertise for over 10 years now, with experience especially within the field of pixel art.
