I graduated from Jacksonville University in 2021 with a BFA and a concentration in Illustration!

Majority of my pieces are painted in Procreate with a 12.9 inch iPad. Adobe Fresco when it comes to Vector work.

I use a LOT of the Jingsketch brushes with a mixture of procreate brushes, depending on the illustration.

However, a hard round brush from any program will do just fine!

Not stressing out about my style was the first step! Finding my style was something I struggled a lot with. It was probably the hardest obstacle to overcome during my art journey, which restarted back in 2018. Instead, I began focusing on my art fundamentals and getting better at drawing. Once I started gathering more knowledge of the basics, eventually, my style developed as I was influenced by other art styles I liked, by different art directors, and I wanted to create shortcuts for the objects I see in reality.

I post small process videos on my Instagram and I have a YouTube channel where I post longer process videos!

I am always open to hearing about new projects whether it’s commercial work, book illustrations, or brand collaborations, however, I no longer accept personal commissions (including portraits) or logo work.

Self-published authors: At this time, I am not taking any commissions.

Her name is Jin! She is an Korean Jindo dog that I adopted on July 14th, 2024. Literally the most stubborn and sweetest dog I've ever met.

Jin isn't the best studio assistant. She just lays around on her flower rug, sleeps, and begs for carrots.
