As a designer with a background in English, I am both a consumer and champion of stories and believe deeply in the power of narrative. Whether through the written word or various artistic mediums, my work seeks to connect and communicate. I’m endlessly curious about human behavior and alternative perspectives which storytelling has the ability to reveal.

I have a practical and logical side that isn't always in line with my emotional and creative side. I believe it is this combination that has shaped my desire to produce functional art. As a ceramicist, I love that the finished project has a purpose: whether an intricate candle holder or a simple mug used for morning coffee. Graphic design offers a similar yet different functionality. It has a place and a purpose. It reaches a broader audience, one that stretches outside of the artistic community. I am passionate about using my creativity to serve the needs of others.

My work reflects a passion for sustainability and repurposing found items. Through my work I seek to highlight the beauty that can be found in imperfection. For this reason, I value craft and the handmade as it reflects human error and touch.
