Tell us about yourself
​​
Hi, I’m an illustrator and graphic designer with a background in social impact work, driven by the idea that art should be accessible to everyone. I’m especially drawn to the intersection of art and activism, and I find my inspiration in zines, DIY culture, and alternative media, spaces that encourage honest expression! I believe there’s something powerful about seeing yourself or the world around you reflected in art, and can’t wait to bring that same ethos to the panel.
​
What excites you about being part of the ARTCRY panel?
​
I’m excited about getting political work into spaces that speak to audiences who may usually feel like art is not for them. My own creative practice has given me a way to speak up, question, and connect, and I can’t wait to see applications that do the same.
​​
What components would your dream application have?
​
Something that makes people pause, reflect, or see things differently. I love seeing work
where both the artist and the audience are part of the conversation.
