About

I'm in love with trying new things, whether it's digital sculpting and illustration, digitizing embroidery, or attempting to learn various software I’ve stumbled upon. Along with that, I'm an animal lover and oxford comma appreciator.

I graduated from Bemidji State University with a B.S. in Art and Design and an emphasis in Digital and Exhibit Design.
