I'm here to help you with GETTING STARTED and STAYING CURIOUS.

I’m a nonfiction graphic novelist, a visual artist, and a creative writing teacher. I came to comics making through painting, later figuring out my writing craft much later. I’m interested in how newbies coming from a broad range of experiences can leverage their talents and interests into making comics. There’s not really a “right way” to make comics. Are you bad at drawing? Don’t know the first thing about plot? You can make comics! You don’t need credentials or a fancy degree to get what you want out of your comics practice. In an hour-long consult, we can discuss possibilities of how to approach making comics as a novice and passionate beginner, and how to cultivate the self-belief and good habits to keep making work and growing as an artist.
