This year I had the opportunity work with UNL Agricultural Economics Department, Center for Rural Affairs, and Nebraska Department of Education to design Rooted in Nebraska: A Student Guide to Specialty Crops and Careers — a publication created to support Farm to School education and inspire the next generation of young farmers and food-system leaders.

The booklet brings together real stories from the Nebraska Young Farmer Program pilot, crop-specific lessons, planning tools, and hands-on activities that connect students to specialty crops and career pathways in Nebraska agriculture. My role was to create a clear, engaging layout that made these resources easy for educators and students to use.

Proud to help bring this project to life and support agricultural education across our state.

Just finished the first round of illustrations for the Equitarian Initiative! These drawings will help educate rural communities in Peru to help them understand donkey and mule behavior for better care and welfare 🫏✨ specifically, these depict fear, the opposition reflex, and dust bathing.

It’s not every day that I get to study equine behavior and draw donkeys and mules, but I really do enjoy it when I get the chance!

I’m excited to share the release of the 2024 Nebraska State Climate Report, which I had the opportunity to design from start to finish!

Spent some time today practicing my digital drawing skills. My new paper-texture iPad screen protector just arrived, and it gives the closest feel to drawing on actual paper. Excited to continue improving!
