One of my main goals in life is just to, like, spread joy and make people smile and get people thinking about more difficult topics. A lot of my work talks about, like, experiencing, like, loss, the grieving process, things like anxiety and depression and, you know, very, like, emotional topics. I think meshing really cute imagery with difficult things to talk about makes it just easier for people to digest. And that's a lot of the reason that all my characters, well, most of them are animals instead of humans. Anyone can really relate to it because a goose can represent anyone. It's just really about Simple shapes, flat colors, and cute aesthetics. I just want as many people to, like, be able to feel a little bit more comfortable just expressing themselves and sharing how they're feeling, because I feel like that's the, like, first step to just adding a little bit more compassion into the world.
