I spent years pretending to be a serious person — earning a PhD in philosophy and teaching cultural studies for over a decade at the Academy of Art and Design. Now I draw robber mice and moose with existential crises — and I couldn’t be happier.
It took me 42 years and a winding road to get here, but when I started illustrating, I knew I had finally found my place. I love creating whimsical worlds, tiny details, and quirky characters that make little (and big) ones smile.
