About
I am an illustrator, cartoonist, zine maker, artist, and crafter. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I relocated to Athens, Georgia in 2002. Currently I work as a surface designer and graphic designer for a leading company in the gift industry. Past clients I have worked with include Athens Magazine, Venus Magazine, Sassy Baby toys, and Pittsburgh City Paper. I have also worked with a number of national and international independent artists, musicians, and writers for various projects. I draw a popular comic strip called Tofu Baby which appears each week in the Flagpole Magazine – Athens leading news and entertainment weekly. My comics have been featured in Friends with LuLu comic anthologies, Not My Small Diary comic books, and various self published zines.
