I just want to write stories and remind others that they matter.

After being torn down by a year and a half that offered me nothing but rejection, I began a year I dubbed “A Year of Saying Yes to Myself,” in which I said “yes” to whatever creative projects I wanted to try.

That creative year had me bringing to life a small handful of projects, one of which is my webcomic For Humankind, a series that touches on some of the feelings that connect us in our human experience. This project has introduced me to a wonderful online readership who are kind enough to have graced me with the titles “author” and “illustrator.” I appreciate my readers very much.

Now, a few years later, I’m using my soft little webcomic to learn animation, enjoying the experience of seeing my illustrations waddle around the screen in For Humans.

When I’m not working on my series, you can find me screenwriting, which is the thing I love most.

And when I need to recharge my creative batteries, I enjoy binging TV, listening to music in languages I don’t know, and watching other people play video games.

Well, that’s that for my self-intro. It’s nice to meet you! Thanks for checking out my site and reading my stories. And, in case you haven’t heard it today: you matter and I’m so glad you’re here.
