Hi, I’m an artist, sociolinguist, & barista currently living in nyc. they/them.

I make art about myself to tell stories about a little slice of the world. To create moments of reflection and recognition, or to flesh out the flatness of strangers whose nuance might otherwise be ignored. Trying to be as happy as a turtle in the mud.

I’m available for writing, illustration, and what have you. Can also teach you how to calculate the length of your vocal tract.
