What I'm looking for

I seek illustration and exhibition roles where I can design and produce artwork, manage print and events, collaborate with creative teams, and grow in curatorial and production responsibilities within a supportive arts organization.

I am a freelance illustrator with a BFA in Illustration from the University of the Arts (Class of 2020), producing custom digital and physical work, prints, and motion-illustrated music videos since 2018. I specialize in concept art, character design, poster graphics, and manage print production and digital presentation.

As Assistant Gallery Manager and co-producer/co-curator of Queer Night at the Batcave, I have organized exhibitions, managed 14 selected artists, overseen merchandising and led social media campaigns. I also teach K–12 art as a substitute teacher and perform in seasonal immersive events, bringing collaborative production experience and a passionate, reliable leadership style to creative teams.
