2020 Voting Plan

A comic created to give readers a friendly, streamlined step by step process for creating a voting plan.

Authentic Baby

Lucky News & Grocery 2018

There are some decisions in life that not only change who we are, but continue to define us for years to come. Even as we continue to grow, these decisions are always with us, no matter how distant they feel. Authentic Baby is a 52 page graphic novella that approaches a choice many women face; whether or not to have a child, and the emotional fallout afterwards.
