Admittedly (and proudly), I’ve always been a bit of a nerd. I was the kid who couldn’t leave the house without a book, declared I had a favorite author in the 2nd grade, and by the 5th grade wrote in my journal that my 50-year-old librarian was my very best friend.

If learning was my first love, art was my second. Born into a family of creatives, I was always making things. My mom’s motto in life was (still is), “Don’t buy that, we can make it.” From a young age, I collected paper samples and stationery products, and while most kids were doing literally anything else, I was printing off fonts and seeing if I could replicate them by hand.

My business is a fusion of these two loves. Through illustration, I am celebrating a lifelong obsession with learning.
