I'm not me without my art--I love what I do and want to do it for the rest of my life!
Over the years I've done plenty of freelance, worked at a game studio, rebranded a local art gallery, sold my own merchandise at conventions and online, and made consistent updates on my webcomic. I've even raised over $22,000 on Kickstarter and manage a Patreon!
Aside from my art, I have a background in management, so I'm big on organizing myself, setting realistic goals, and working with others to get the best result for the product we're making. Hitting deadlines and having an open line of communication is important to me.
Did I mention I LOVE collaborating with others? I love seeing everyone's strengths come together to make something amazing, and being able to bounce ideas off of other people is integral to good design. I've worked in a team setting extensively and value it immensely!
