Hi, I'm Kevin! I'm a multidisciplinary artist that currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. I have a BFA & MFA from MICA. My work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators and American Illustration. In my downtime, I love doodling, obsessing over all the dogs in my neighborhood & making zines. Oh, and I have a mustache. :)

I’m currently working in-house at Adweek on their Branded Content Studio, but am always open to collaborations and would love to hear from you!
