    I’m a creative professional with years of experience in various types of writing, from educational materials to fictional novels. I enjoy writing in any situation, as well as organizing information and researching. On top of that, I have extensive experience in IT and received my CompTIA A+ certification in October of 2017. I specialize in help desk style support and enjoy dealing with the hardware of computers the most. I’m also an artist, though I’ve only recently begun focusing on that in a professional setting. I like illustrating in comic or cartoon style the most, but I’m in the process of learning even more.

    I’m an alternative aesthetic artist and designer with a love for the beautifully strange. My work blends expressive portraiture, emotional storytelling, and bold visual identity. Whether I’m creating custom artwork, building out brand visuals, or designing content with bite—I bring a deep understanding of mood, symbolism, and subculture into every project. I’m the founder of Memento Mori Studio, where I create and showcase original art, maintain a blog exploring identity, recovery, and creativity, and manage all aspects of branding and web design. Running my own studio has given me hands-on experience building a cohesive brand from the ground up—and making it resonate. I’ve designed logos, brand kits, and print/digital assets for small businesses, and completed commissioned pieces for individuals looking for artwork that carries weight and meaning. With a background in both visual art and writing, I know how to turn complex, emotional ideas into impactful design. If you’re looking for something moody, meaningful, or just a little off-kilter—I’m your artist.
