My approach is client-centered and I bring a queer, feminist lens and a sensitivity to nuance and symbolism, crafting visuals that resonate psychologically, aesthetically, and conceptually. Some services are available on a sliding scale for grassroots organizations and community-based initiatives. Contact me for details.
