They have experience working with many mediums, he favors working with pencil and ink paired with digital coloring. Their work includes comics exploring identity and mental health, how one deals with other disabilities and stories with diverse casts that have nothing to do with those things.

His experience growing up being LGBT+ and invisibly disabled while having no representation or assistance from those around him provided the desire to give LGBT, those with visible and invisible disability and those without privileged representation and an adult to help give them a fighting chance.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
