I used to think that a guy telling me I'm not like other girls was a compliment and I've now flipped to seeing that for the back-handed compliment that it is.

I want to be someone who is known for portraying themselves honestly. I try to avoid aggrandizing things I've done.

I want to be the person whose art is accessible, who someone could look at and say That's doesn't look so hard, I could do that.

I was really inspired by seeing self published zines and mini-comics: seeing someone else make work that was either really personal, or was just done entirely themselves. It really showed me what was possible for my own art, and I hope that my books will inspire readers in the same way.

I've always been a draw-er, all throughout elementary school I was the kid who draws.
