About Me
Hello–
I'm a freelance writer/artist living and working in Portland, OR. I have been working independently in various creative fields for the past several years, most frequently in writing and visual art, but film, graphic design, and various others are also on the list. I majored in film production in high school, but my focus has been on writing and comics for the better part of the last decade.
In 2020 I founded my company, Frontier Creative Studios, a Portland based publishing and creative studio that specializes in creator owned publications, and collaborative projects. We're starting small, but looking forward to connecting with artists in the future.
I'll be graduating from Portland State University with my BFA in Creative Writing, and a certificate in Comic Studies. When I'm not working on my various writing and art projects, or Frontier, I enjoy gardening, cooking and textiles.
My Work
In my art practice my work is varied, but my focuses are on writing and visual art.
My writing ranges from fiction to poetry and creative non-fiction, but my preferred area is fiction. I write primarily fantasy, sci-fi and speculative fiction, working in both prose and comics. I also take writing commissions and requests. You can find my work on Tapas (see the links below).
In visual arts I work primarily digitally (Procreate and Clip Studio Paint), and my focus areas are character design, illustration, and comic art; I am improving my skills in other areas as well, including environment, architecture and landscapes/concept.
My current projects include a several manuscripts and comic scripts in various stages of completion, illustrations, and a few comic projects (which can be found on Tapas and Webtoons). At the moment I am working on several collaborations in writing and comics.
My work is also available for purchase on RedBubble, and I am working on getting a Patreon up and running. Until then I have Ko-fi.
I have worked in commissions and design, and I do freelance illustration, writing, and editing. I have experience in video production, and project management, as well as theater production and design.
I also do copy editing and developmental editing for both fiction and non-fiction. I particularly enjoy editing because I'm detail oriented and find the work engaging, and I have a passion for helping people bring their projects to life.
