Art
I graduated from college in 2009 with a degree in art and art history. After school I started to find myself more drawn to the web itself as a medium, and translated my skills into an engineering career.
These days I mostly paint from photos with paint markers on board, and design vector art for shirts and stickers to share with my friends.
Writing
Since 2022, I've written essays and hypertext on my blog Human Kibble about my experiences in transition. More recently, I was published in issue 4 of TRANSplants zine. 🏳️⚧️
