I live my life in tempered chaos. I chase squirrels, imitate noises, and cried watching Paddington 2. If I encounter a random path on a walk, I can't resist the urge to check it out, whether it leads to a secret garden or an alley where restaurants throw out their trash. I want to break convention and wander off the paved road to find new intersections in our world. I can’t help but feel strongly, speak loudly, and believe in the merit of otherwise pointless things. I am both impulsive and pragmatic, whimsical and honest. I seek to give small things the chance to become something more, and to fight for a cause. As an illustrator and motion designer, I want to tell human stories that get forgotten or left behind, give a voice to the underrepresented, and to create genuine things.
