Inspired by the apartment buildings in my own neighborhood, I made sure to put some air conditioners in the windows, lots of plants, and of course a cat. (Whittier is nothing if not consistent in our window trimmings.)

I’ve been working on some weird illustrations of Minneapolis buildings for a work project. They have been a trial run at really illustrating with my iPad and trying out Procreate, while simultaneously terrifying me.

“Just because someone is nice doesn’t mean they’re good.” Three cocktails in and these were my words of wisdom for dating. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

For most of my life I've had a low-key obsession with space. Maybe it was Star Trek, maybe it was the fact that I had a perfect view out my bedroom window of the very few stars I could see in the city.

Wouldn’t it be cool if we had an honest and constructive conversation about America’s relationship with firearms where we actually prioritized our citizens’ lives? Because 17 kids and adults protecting them didn’t need to die today.
Read MoreAs a nonprofit designer, I often feel as though I design on an island. Surrounded by a sea of for-profit creators, I watch as their branding projects and high-value accounts push their careers forward, delivering the same type of content over and over again in an echo-chamber of cubicles.

For the past two years, I've operated under the assumption that as a Designer I was a creative professional, but I never presumed to be an Artist. In fact I've actively avoided calling my work "art" or investing too much of my own narrative into my projects. (Style and personality, yes. Narrative, not so much.)

Two years ago, I decided to change up my life in unexpected ways and went back to school. Little did I know just how much would change in that time.

To say I’ve grown a lot would be an understatement.
