I am a freelance illustrator based in Pittsburgh, blending traditional hand-drawn art with modern digital tools. With training in 2D animation, my whimsical style explores emotion, storytelling, and the beauty of imagination, transforming simple sketches into intricate illustrations filled with movement. I use AI tools solely as productivity assets to help bring my original 2D concepts to life through tangible figurine mockups. While navigating these complex programs can be challenging, I use them strategically to accelerate production and overcome the limitations of traditional software. Every piece begins with my own concept art, honoring my roots in traditional drawing while bridging the gap between flat illustrations and three-dimensional forms. My work has been featured in publications, galleries, and licensed collections worldwide.
