Longer form and more detailed version can be found here: About Me
My name is Kellen Zanders M.SE (08/17/1995) and I'm an indie creator living in Des Moines, Iowa. I'm a graduate from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (Comic Art and Illustration B.A., Creative Writing minor) and from North Dakota State University (Masters in Software Engineering).
I'm the creator of Maverick Lobo who's my fursona for this creative platform meant for PG-13 entertainment. There's a lot of things I do but, above all, it's always been my dream to become a full-time creator and earn a living telling my stories that others will enjoy.
I created Maverick Lobo as a result of wanting to embrace the early 00's Youth Culture I grew up in. I'm a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater kid (that golden era from 1999-2007), I grew up watching Digimon, listening to Ska-Punk, Rock, Pop-punk, etc., I wanted a character that really represented all the things I wanted to do but was too afraid of as a youth.
The character inspires me to be my best self in pursuit of my dreams and, in turn, I want to be able to inspire others to go after theirs.
