Welcome!
Here's a bit of what I do in my free time.
01 | ITEM DESIGN
The Terrarium
This idea came to me when I began to study organic forms in an experimental fashion. I was inspired with how bubbles bend and warp when rushing to the surface in groups; think of a lava lamp or air trapped in a bottle of honey. The idea of these forms warping and contouring to make space for each other allowed me to create unique shapes and voids to fill with plant life in this terrarium.
02 | STATIONERY
A Sunday Well Spent 2023 Planner
How often do people find themselves buying a planner at the beginning of the year with the hopes that it will bring their whole life together just to find themselves having completely abandoned the idea by June? Hey, it's okay, we're all human, this planner is made to give us a fresh restart without all the New Years resolutions. A Sunday Well Spent is a small stationery business that came up with this idea and brough it to me to bring it to life.
Here Comes the Bride!
There are times when I am truly honored when someone asks me to join in on a project, so one can only imagine the excitement and honor I felt when my brother asked me to handle the signage and programs for his wedding with his high school sweetheart. With a remodeled barn venue and lavendar and sage themes, we decided The Washington Post newspaper - styled programs and sage green signage would perfectly complete this beautiful celebration.

Mind, Body, Soul
WATERCOLOR AND PEN ON PAPER
This collection was inspired by one of my biggest role models - my older sister. In attempt to create a composition of work that accurately represented her dynamic, complex, and beautiful personality, I created a dichotomy of the two worlds she lives in - the color-loving, flower picking, meditative world I grew up with her in, and the high intensity, black and white, admirable world she knows as a practicing medical student.
Colors
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
As a part of a multi-media project series on the topic of discrimination, this collection represents the concept of skin color under a new light. Using monochromatic themes, each painting is a different prismatic color. This requires the viewer to possibly change their initial perception of the portraits from being an observation of the person's skin.
