“I’m a graduate of Texas State University with a BFA in Communication Design, and I’m currently working on my K-12 teaching certification in Art. By day, I work for an educational software company creating illustrations and graphics, and by night, I make everything you see here! A few of my favorite things include mermaids, manatees, Moomins, and all things magical!”
