About Me: Designer, Illustrator, and Aquarius– I've always been inclined to use my creativity to make meaningful work. I aim to redefine the public interpretation of art, support and participate in diverse communities, and one day buy the dance-dance-revolution machine of my dreams.

People have asked why I've taken on crippling debt to pursue an art degree in a state that may or may not accept me. Sure, I questioned it too. However, I've accepted the worthwhile experience of learning from/with incredible people, making meaningful art, and developing an appreciation for what life has to offer. 

Fun Fact: I perform as a campy cute drag queen named Efemmemira (E·femme·mir·a)!
