About
For my junior thesis I wanted to do something that felt, to me, both familiar and exciting; something that I already loved and could grow to love even more. I’ve been working on Under Mountains since November of 2021 and knew I wanted to turn it into a webcomic one day, so I decided to take the leap.
This project is inspired heavily by my childhood spent exploring nature through summer camps, family trips, and general wandering in state and national parks. To me, Under Mountains is a daily reminder that the best fantasy is the world we already live in. That there is always a new adventure to be had. My goal is to share that cosmic, staggering brilliance with anyone who wants to listen; and show them the unknowable world that I grew up knowing.
