I am a multimedia artist and the creator behind Because Friendship.

Based in Missoula, MT, I offer freelance services as a traditional illustrator, cartoonist, and graphic designer. A lot of my work is humorous, whimsical, and inspired by themes of joy and connection. I’d love to bring this playful and high-spirited energy to your next children’s book, editorial, or commercial illustration project.

While I love working on paper, I also have experience creating vector graphics, print design, layout design, and custom typography. Let’s add some pizzazz to your brand, packaging, or other project idea!

At its core, Because Friendship was created to make people smile. The world is a goofy place and friendship offers a kind and supportive container to explore its quirks. I hope my art lifts you up and reminds you to play… together.
