I draw myself as a cartoon character in order to process my feelings and express my thoughts. It's a fun way to acknowledge and celebrate what it's like to be human — the good and the bad!

It's such a great outlet for stress, and I love that I can talk about some serious topics in a way that invites other people to relate to my experiences because they see themselves in my work.
