Illustrator and Graphic Designer with a focus on stickers, art commissions and graphic design!

Hey, I’m Abigail! I’ve wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. I really like to draw plants and flowers, nostalgic items like vintage cameras and things that are bright and colorful. I usually start with a color scheme or a theme for a piece first, then start sketching ideas.

I enjoy drawing both in my sketchbook and on my iPad using Procreate. I think it’s great to be able to easily find reference photos and drop them into Procreate, just find an idea and start drawing. I also love the texture of drawing in my sketchbook.

pictures that tell stories

Hola! I'm Jalynn, a food and portrait photographer. I shoot food with a passion for capturing the beauty of raw ingredients and the story of the cooking process. I love to capture people's personality and relationships, quirks and laughs. I believe photographs can be given--not just taken--and used to dignify communities and amplify quiet stories. It is my goal to create work that releases joy, empathy, appreciation, and value for the natural world and the people in it.
