My third grade teacher described me as “destructively creative”. Her testimonial was far from a compliment, but I took it as one. I’ve nurtured my provocative imagination to serve me and others well in conceptualizing brands, perfecting print and refining illustrations while never losing my uniquely, disruptively, creative spirit.

I began my career as a freelancer and have since honed my skills through various design agencies. I have developed my abilities to a proficient level of knowledge in Adobe suite and a range of creative skills. My personal illustration style is versatile, allowing me to adapt to different aesthetics while also showcasing innovative conceptualization and a keen eye for color. I am constantly evolving in this dynamic and diverse industry, making me a valuable asset for any project.

When I’m not thinking about, eating or drawing inspiration from food, you can find me trekking through mossy pine forests or belaying friends at the rock gym. I’m eager for collaboration with like minded individuals who can help me use my destructive creativity for good. If this sounds like a match, email me at m.penandink@gmail.com.
