Creative practice extends beyond the studio through publication, exhibition, public presentation, and professional recognition. Throughout my career, I have sought opportunities to share visual storytelling through comics, animation, exhibitions, invited presentations, and collaborative creative projects while contributing to both professional practice and higher education.

This page highlights selected publications, exhibitions, film festival screenings, invited presentations, interviews, and professional recognition that reflect the ongoing development of my work as a visual storyteller, educator, and creative researcher. Rather than serving as a comprehensive curriculum vitae, it provides a curated overview of milestones that demonstrate the impact and reach of my creative practice.
