How does being queer inform your work?

It does in my personal work. I have done a lot of illustration and publishing work helping Queer get mainstream exposure. In my business it helps me subvert the straight lens, and helps me direct clients to think about marginalized communities or broaden their perspectives.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

On Our Backs

Which other queer people inspire you?

All activists especially trans activists who remain visible and outspoken people and choose to remain in the public eye despite our current political climate and moral panic.
