Where else can we find your work? DM me 😉

Where do you find inspiration and who are a few artists you admire? As a graphic designer and fine artist I’m inspired by people whose work lives at that intersection. Lately this has included Trevor Paglen, Jenny Holzer, and Daniel Eatock, among others. I’m inspired by books, podcasts, music, instagram astrology meme accounts, and basically everything.
