About Me
I make comics that drop readers into bold new worlds—places they didn’t know they were dying to visit. Whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, humor, or heartache, I bring sharp storytelling, adaptable style, and production-ready skill to every page. My background blends personal IP with client-minded execution—meaning I can create original, emotionally compelling work for your world, not just mine. Think polished manga from the American underground: versatile, authentic, and built to connect.
Key Skills
- Illustration & Visual Storytelling: Original characters, dynamic scenes, and emotionally-driven images tailored for print, digital, and screen
- Creative Development: Concept art, worldbuilding, and IP design with a strong narrative foundation
- End-to-End Production: Storyboarding, layout, pencils, inks, color, and polish—built from experience in comics and beyond
- Tools & Tech: Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, Wacom, MacOS, OmniFocus
- Multidisciplinary Edge: Clear communication, music composition, intermediate Japanese proficiency, and mentoring/teaching experience

What I’m Looking For
I’m looking to collaborate with studios, teams, and creatives in video games, publishing, animation, and independent media. My focus is on character design, comics, and illustration that brings stories and worlds to life with emotional clarity and visual punch.
I’m open to freelance, full-time, or long-term collaborative roles—especially with teams who are communicative, growth-minded, and kind. I thrive in environments that value originality, emotional range, and creative discipline.
