ABOUT + RESUME

THE GREMLIN BEHIND THE PEN

I fell in love with art through street walls and sketchbooks — bold lines, loud colors, and characters with real attitude. I studied illustration at the School of Visual Arts, where I refined my style into something graphic, expressive, and always moving.

My work pulls from everything I grew up loving — graffiti tags, album covers, animation, video games — and whether it's a cast of characters, a comic, or a campaign, I want the work to speak loud without saying a word.

"Fast food for your eyes."
