Meet Isiah
I believe wholeheartedly in the power of stories. A good story can expand the mind and the heart. It can let you escape your life and reflect on it at the same time.
I’ve always had an imaginative mind, but not a visual one. I have aphantasia, so I always had trouble mentally conjuring the vivid realities that most book lovers get to live in.
Comic books, though, felt like peeking through a window into other worlds. Ones that pushed the boundaries of what was possible. That’s the feeling I want to share with others.

Inspiration
The stories that resonate with me the most reflect the complexity and depth that comes from living lives as nuanced as ours. The human heart at conflict with itself (as many prolific authors have put it). And I am absolutely enthralled with imbuing that authentic feeling of humanity into the most fantastical of settings.
The Magic All Around Us
At the intersection of magic and the natural world are the stories we tell. Every culture in human history tells them, whether as lessons or as dire warnings. Tales of other worlds, spirits and creatures. Telling them seems to be in our very nature. The fictional world of Trillium is inspired by the mural of magic and creativity that humans have painted across history.
Collaboration
We strive to partner with like-minded artists, creators and small businesses that share our enthusiasm for celebrating and building inclusive stories.
My Journey
To give this endeavor the time and attention I believe it deserves, my wonderful wife and I saved up some funds over the last year for me to leave my day job, and to invest in the tools and talent to make it happen.
This terrifying and invigorating leap of faith has allowed me to take action on making a lifelong dream a reality.
Now is the time to turn scripts, character sheets, and libraries of world-building material into tangible stories for people to engage with.
