I'm a creator, innovator, and storyteller passionate about art and design that makes a difference. I love turning problems and abstract concepts into solutions that inspire reflection, action, and social and civic change.
I specialize in editorial illustration and work as a design researcher at Civilla, a Detroit-based design studio dedicated to changing the way public-serving institutions work using human-centered design thinking and design research.
