I'm a tattoo artist and illustrator from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. As a naturalist and wildlife artist, I am devoted to the flora and fauna of our beloved Great Lakes and the ecoregions that surround them. Whether it has fur, fins, petals, or feathers, I aim to cultivate an attentiveness and appreciation towards the natural world at all sizes and scales.

I love nature. I especially love birds and herpetofauna. I’m an avid birder, and my idea of a good time is hanging out in a swamp from sunrise to sunset. I rely on long hikes to keep me happy and productive. I also love canoeing, camping, and brook trout fishing—along with the spring and fall bird migration, I plan my schedule around how often I can get out and do these things.

I’m the owner of Late Bloomer Tattoo. Before I fell into tattooing, I worked as a graphic designer, where I learned to collaborate creatively with other people. Prior to design school, I worked in arts and culture for over half a decade. I initially pursued post-secondary education in Biology but dropped out before completing my degree to give art a shot. In an effort to give back to the local art and design community, I co-founded the Form Follows Passion Bursary. A portion of proceeds from flash sales directly funds this initiative, reflecting a commitment to nurturing creativity and talent in our community.

I love tattooing and the people I get to meet because of it. The most rewarding part of my practice is connecting with people who share my love for nature. I've tattooed botanists, conservationists, mushroom farmers, herpetologists, beekeepers, arborists, wildlife rehabilitators, and everyone in between. It's a privilege to tattoo and learn from people who have devoted their lives to helping preserve, appreciate, and understand our beautiful planet.
