Welcome. Construction in Progress

I am an art educator, animator, and tabletop RPG game designer with a passion for the infinite potential of the arts. Four years in the classroom and counting, teaching classes that included 2D and 3D media in traditional and digital art, covering drawing technique, color theory, traditional painting, sculpture, image editing, digital painting, graphic design, and animation.

I'm also massive sci-fi and fantasy nerd, which spills out into my character portrait work, much of which is related to my other great love: Tabletop RPGs. Playing and GMing for over 11 years, and writing for them for nearly 10. Much of my early work was homebrew character options for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition and are available on DM's Guild. Currently actively developing two systems, one based on Shawn Tomkin's Ironsworn and the other based on Cortex Prime (further details to come!)

My undergraduate thesis film, Not Factory Default was voted a selection as part of the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival 2020, and actually aired as part of the 2021 online showing of the festival due to the 2020 screening's cancellation for reasons of the pandemic.
