Started our first job at my parents' small business, PJ's Party Supply & Rentals. Raised to be an entrepreneur, small business runs in my blood. I did a lot of the design work for my parents shop too.

Began college at a nearby art school after flunking out of community college. Chased my dreams! Had no idea what I was doing after high school!

Founded and established Ovaettr Art in January of 2017, beginning to take custom art commissions, especially supported by friends early on while still in college.

First published work in L.A. Wilga's 'SUNDOWN' RPG, having illustrated all 11 fiends that one could fight or tame in-game.

Second published work, featured art of the Eight of Wands (right) for THE FAT FOLKS TAROT published in 2020 originally, with the second printing of the deck and guide book accrued 823 backers pledging $63,825 helping bring this project to life.

Experienced making my FIRST ZINE in a Disability Pride Month Workshop on Zoom, releasing 'EUPHORIA ISLAND'  an 8 page mini. Not long after I was pushed and inspired by the wrong-doing of the Texas government in banning abortion during 2021's legislative session. I made 'TRANS MASC & NONBINARY INCLUSION IN REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ACTIVISM' to start conversations about better including people who were not cisgender women but were impacted by abortion bans like Greg Abbott signed into law. After the ban passed, we adjusted the zine to serve as a continual guide outside of the moment that inspired it (plus bonus "I Need An A" resources added inside.) It continues to be one of our most popular zines to this day, as the conversation surrounding reproductive rights still goes on in a world without bodily autonomy for all.

Started teaching arts for my first time, as a part-time educator over Zoom instructing lessons I had constructed myself from the ground up covering Comics and 2D Animation for youth. This started my journey into being an educator, following my passions. Nothing is better than seeing the smile of a person who gets to be creative.

Graduated COLLEGE! After 11 years of extreme struggles, I finally made it out of college with my Bachelor's of the Fine Arts in Media Arts and Animation earned July of 2022. My focus being in Motion Graphic Design & Character Design.

As a growing advocate and activist for transgender and queer rights, we took part in the Equality Fellows training program for developing leadership skills. This enabled us to have more knowledge on how to apply ourselves in the systems we exist in, and how to imagine possibilities outside of it in our community work and actions.

Started vending my first time at Killer's Tacos in Denton, TX. Eventually grew to be vending full time in Denton with a table sign and everything!! I love the memories I get to make talking with people in-person about my art and zines!
