Bio

Current full-time art student aspiring to become an illustrator and make a living making art that inspires and encourages others to embrace who they are. I want others to consider different perspectives and ways of thinking. I believe in identifying and addressing the fundamental sources of issues in today's world in order to make the most impact. I want to prove that, no matter who you are or where you come from, you can make some difference in the world, and that everyone has the power to do that in their own unique way. We need to embrace who we are and lift each other up if we want to see a brighter future.
