Hi, I'm Tomik! Imagine doing everything you love for a living — that's my life. Dive in and see how I mix publishing, design, and advocacy into my everyday.
Before you ask, I’m a creative entrepreneur living in New York City, and like most creative people, I don’t like being boxed into one thing. I love to explore, learn, and implement. This has led me to don a few hats.
Publisher of Fag Rag Magazine

Web Designer
Do you think this website got cute on its own?! Here is an example of where I turned a hobby into a business. Lefty Creative is my web design company, where I design websites that invite people into your world.
