I’m a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator. I take my coffee black, never leave the house without a book, and love sending mail. Years ago, I made a half-hearted commitment to read one book about every U.S. president. As you can see, it spiraled out of control.
*Yeah, I know it’s weird. Just roll with it.

My bibliography
It’s a long list.
Twice as fun? Or twice as confusing?
I have two email newsletters. Both are free and sporadic (generally no more than once a month). Both include: presidential trivia, off-beat doodles, Venn diagrams, history, book recommendations, and inexplicably long tangents.
Subscribe to one, both, or neither.
The POTUS Notice: my original newsletter
Free presidential trading card (while supplies last).
Regular prizes randomly sent to POTUS Pop Quiz participants.
Occasionally fun snail mail (at my discretion).
Presidential Briefs: for those who prefer Substack
Not necessarily brief. Or about briefs. But not necessarily not not about briefs. Like this one.
No prizes or fun mail.
Much of the same content as my regular blog, but the emails will always be different from The POTUS Notice.
See what’s it’s all about.

MY BIBLIOGRAPHY // WHAT I’M READING // MY BOOKSHOP
I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve read at least one book about every U.S. President. And then some. I doodle my way through biographies and share my sketchbooks.

I ❤ sending mail
Sometimes I sent mail to POTUS Notice subscribers who are really into my project (regularly play my quizzes, comment on my blogs or newsletters, share with their friends, and/or rescue me from embarrassing mistakes, etc.). Something to keep in mind.

![Theodore Roosevelt's children tiny family tree]()
I can’t stop making family trees
What if Alice Roosevelt was a boy? Everything may have been different. Take a journey through the chaos in my head, unleashed by a collaboration with a public historian. Or scroll through the rest of my family trees.

I’m a Bookshop affiliate
Bookshop supports independent booksellers. Hypothetically speaking, I’d earn a commission if anyone ever made a purchase through my links. But even if nobody does, I love to create lists on Bookshop (like the one below).

My itty bitty store: meh
The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. But if you’re looking for quirky presidential items to sell in your gift shop, I’d love to chat. See some of the stuff I made.

I ❤ Venn diagrams
They’re sprinkled all through my sketchbooks. This one is particularly gross.

While supplies last, pick out a free trading card when you subscribe to The POTUS Notice.

My brain tries to organize it all
I have collections of books that overlap, centenarians, sketchbook cameos, mistakes, funny names, and more.
I also have my own personal Frick Collection.

Anthropomorphic maps are fun
This one is a nod to the first and only time the VP was selected by the senate. Find more maps with faces in my Mega Maps Medley.
