Oof. Time passes fast.

I was working on a PhD in drawing, communication, and information. But I've paused to consider whether a doctorate is really the best way to get where I'm going.

As that percolates, I'm working as an Instructional Designer and drawing comics.

I sometimes post images on Instagram @owla__oolar. It's private, but I'll let most people in.

Excited to announce that my graphic essay, Not Unreasonable, was published in Graphic Medicine, part of the Annals of Internal Medicine, on October 12, 2021! View it here.

Very busy few years. This past May, I completed the MA in Library and Information Studies at the UW-Madison iSchool with an emphasis on Art Librarianship, Special Collections, and Digital Humanities.
