My name is Neil, I’m a designer and illustrator.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. After graduating high school, I spent my first two years at a community college studying graphic design and earned my associates of art. I then transferred to Illinois State University, and earned my Bachelor’s degree in May of 2020.

At that point, seeing as we were in the midst of a pandemic, I got a job at a nearby nursery as a landscape designer. During this period, I spent a lot of my free time drawing, and moved on after my two years there to pursue illustration and design as my full time career.
