My Books
As an illustrator, storytelling lies at the heart of my work, with a special focus on conveying emotion. I believe it's essential to capture real-world perspectives and mental health in a way that feels authentic and relatable to readers. My first self-published graphic novel, Living In-Between, marks a significant milestone in my creative journey. In addition to independent projects, I specialize in commissioned work, having contributed to various book and zine illustrations. Currently, I'm focused on expanding my creative library with upcoming publications.
A lost 20-year-old takes a train to revisit parts of his past in order to process the death of his mother and the loss of his childhood. Along his journey, he uncovers parts of life he never noticed before. Living In-Between is a poetic story told through the narration of color and ambiguity, as every page explores the many philosophies that life can hold. Tackling themes of grief, relationships, time, and memory, this story can mean whatever you want it to. Let this journey be your own. No matter how lost one may feel, our chapters will always mean something
