I have pursued creativity since I could pick up a crayon. The art of story telling, and transportive magic of picture books fascinate me to this day.

I studied drawing and film photography at SACI, Florence ('07) along with an unofficial degree in multi-hour leisurely meals. I went on to earn a Bachelors Degree in Visual Art ('08) from the University of San Francisco and a Masters Degree in Education ('09).

I have worked as an art educator in a variety of settings including the wonderfilled innovation focused Camp Galileo. In recent years I have co-managed hundreds of craft workshops for grownups at the Craftcation conference which hosts makers from across North America.

I am able to aptly create work consistent to developed brand identities, both fully digital and hand-rendered. I also have a cultivated personal style influenced greatly by my experiences traveling as well as folklore, magic, the wild, and my ever present inner child.
