I started Infertility Illustrated when I realized I was in the same place I’d been two years previously…having just relocated to a new city and going through a miscarriage simultaneously.  I decided to draw a little sketch and the rest is history.

Infertility Illustrated is designed to illustrate an average day in the life of someone dealing with infertility.

I am currently based in Chicago, IL.
