In 2011, he co-founded Fine Print Press and remains editor-in-chief of its imprint Fine Print, an independent literary and visual arts magazine. In 2021, he co-created Orb.church, a website that crafts a poem based on your natal chart and pairs it with illustrations. He has done book design and illustrative work for Vegetarian Alcoholic Press, Dancing Girl Press, Tilted House and Ghost Peach Press. His artwork has appeared in Birdcoat Quarterly and Reed Magazine; in the television shows Silicon Valley (HBO), Loosely Exactly Nicole (MTV), The Big Door Prize (Apple TV), and Walker (The CW); in the film Frogman; and in galleries throughout the United States and abroad.
