ABOUT

I am an illustrator and interpretive designer based in Santa Cruz, CA. My practice exists in the intersection between art, science, and education, with the goal of making complex ideas accessible to a diverse public audience. I love working on projects that combine interpretation and science illustration, and have a particular interest in fire ecology, and trees.

When I'm not working on illustration projects, you can find me hiking, baking, running (very slowly), or engaging in my letter writing practice through hand made cards.
