I am an illustrator and cartoonist with a lifelong passion for creating and developing characters for illustration, animations and visual development. I illustrate children's books and create characters with abilities and backstories for use in new stories and games. My drawing process usually involves turning the storyboards directly into panels. I first sketch, enter dialogue, then add lineart and color before posting online. I draw and write a comic on Webtoons, "Sparkly Life of Murder-Chan," which (lovingly) satirizes a variety of manga tropes. For my Bachelor of Fine Arts capstone project, I created an illustrated book, The Great Big Book of Demons, that explored and challenged the mythology of angels and demons. I work mostly in Paint Tool SAI, but can use other digital tools as needed, such as Adobe Illustrator. My portfolio is on Behance.
