A visual artist and narrative designer working at the intersection of mental health, symbolic storytelling, and emerging technology.
My creative practice began as a therapeutic response to personal crisis. Over time, it developed into a structured system for producing visual work, building narrative frameworks, and exploring the complexities of the human experience. I do not center my mental health in the work, but it informs everything I make.
Today, I am focused on unifying traditional illustration, digital design, and long-form storytelling into a coherent body of work. I collaborate with artificial intelligence as a conceptual and technical partner. Some work is hand-drawn, some is AI-assisted, and some blends the two. I use these tools to extend creative range, support storytelling, and explore new forms of expression while remaining fully involved in directing every outcome.
Creative Process & Fair Use
Many of my illustrations begin by referencing real-world imagery: photographs, objects, industrial parts, or anatomical forms. These references are composited, sketched over, or structurally reinterpreted to create new visual concepts. The goal is always transformation, building something original from familiar parts, grounded in plausibility but focused on near-future and symbolic themes.
I believe I am working well within the bounds of fair use. I do not copy or reproduce existing works. Instead, I use reference material as a starting point for original creative expression. My intent is not to replicate or compete with any source, but to create something new through meaningful transformation.
