*1998 in Chicago
Visual artist and writer. 


My work explores the world of social "outcasts" with a surreal, stream of consciousness quality. It's fueled by suburban memory and a fascination with online oddities: from marketplace ads to poetic buffet reviews on TripAdvisor. My aim is to become a connoisseur of digital trash.
