I'm an illustrator, graphic designer, and comic artist from Coney Island. I spend a good portion of my time walking to the Brooklyn Public Library where I go to pick up the maximum amount of books I can take out.
I borrow and appreciate the design layouts of books, covers, and illustrations. When I'm not reading or getting inspiration from art books/comics/graphic novels, I draw. I have an ink bottle collection that I have been known to spill on light-color carpets.
I'm interested in the intersection of illustration, photo, and design. I love to be included in all stages of design process. From sketching out ideas, having conversations, to making a lot, a lot, a lot of iterations.
I swoon at the very sight of Victorian-era artwork and antique objects. This coupled with my interest in grunge design’s hallmark of subtle imperfection can be easily identified in my work.
Clients include The New York Times, Catapult, BUST, Macmillan Audio, DIY, Lithium, the Pure App, and others!
