Hi! I'm Leo, and I tell stories using drawings, words, photos, videos, and whatever else the story demands. Storytelling can bring us together to imagine better a better world, and inspire people to participate in making change. It can teach us valuable lessons, broaden our perspective, and keep us happy when things get tough. I seek to distill the most important narratives, and then convey them in the ideal form.
As a College Scholar at Cornell University, I designed an independent B.A. called "Visual and Literary Storytelling."
I graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, with distinction in all subjects, in 2020.

I am currently pursuing my M.A. in Sustainable Design and Illustration at ecosign / Akadamie für Gestaltung in Cologne, Germany.
My work has appeared in Kitsch Magazine, The Cornell Daily Sun, The Cornell Chronicle, The Fourth Floor Magazine, and HOWL: The Voice of UNM Taos. I've exhibited at galleries in Ithaca, NY, Philadelphia, PA and Taos, NM. He was an inaugural Artist-in-Residence at ModNomad Studio’s Casa Minka Residency in February 2021, and was included in the 2021 Taos Center for the Arts "40 under 40" show.
