I’m a Western New York-based artist, writer, and game dev with bachelor’s degrees in Creative Writing and English trying to make it as a full-time indie creative. I'm best known as Pumkin Gutz+, a creative being/collective who often prefers to speak as "we."
As Pumkin Gutz+, we're safe to explore our multitudes of ideas, perspectives, and selves through our art. We’re inspired by tarot, nature, cryptids and creatures, liminal pockets in suburbia, and folklore from around the world.
I’m proudly queer, trans, divergent, and disabled — and for my well-being, also very private.
Our self-publication, Pumkin Gutz + Press!, is where we post our comics, zines, and other creations for free. You can check it out here.

I am currently an iPad artist for digital works. I love learning new systems and plan to expand to computer programs.
As a kid, I was fortunate to have unusually high access to art supplies that helped me fall in love with art. As an adult, I take pride in resourcefulness and making due with what I’ve got. My goal is to expand my thrifting, recycling, and repurposing in my traditional art.
