Hello!! I am a trans illustrator who is always finding new ways to make stuff with my hands! I'm bringing art, polymer clay, and meme content to the table -- also frogs. Especially frogs. Man, isn't it weird that gay people are really obsessed with frogs lately? Thank you Kowhai team for bringing us all together!!
