Since my early childhood I’ve always loved the arts. It’s become such an important part of my identity, since it’s allowed me to express myself creatively and overcome adversities. I am a nonbinary lesbian, and I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, and OCD. Art has become a voice for me, allowing me to open up visually and show who I am as a person. It is my dream to one day create art and stories in the form of comics, and construct immersive worlds that draw people in. I want to create characters with experiences that people can relate with, and stories that bring joy and tears.
