I'm a graphic designer and illustrator living in Minneapolis. I specialize in branding, visual identity, and improving user experiences.

How does being queer inform your work?

I feel being an out and proud gay man empowers me to be more empathetic, think creatively and unconventionally, and have a stronger desire to use my skills to help my community.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

I'm a big fan of the Japanese Bara art style, specifically with artists like Gengoroh Tegame, Mentaiko Itto, and Gai Mizuki.

Which other queer people inspire you?

George Takei, Zaheer Suboh
