I am a picture maker from Detroit, Michigan. I currently live in Oak Park, Michigan with my husband, my two young sons, and a tremendous curiosity.

​

I received a BFA in interior design from College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. After several years of working as a commercial interior designer, I found that I could not ignore my passion for making pictures. I began taking on freelance illustration and graphics projects, and I discovered my highest value: I could transform my curiosity and insights into meaningful connections with and between other people.

​

I have created illustrations for private clients and organizations including Belle Isle Conservancy and Community Arts Partnerships of College for Creative Studies. I have also created concept, branding, and merchandise artwork for businesses, including a few Detroit-based startups. You can view my client and personal illustration work here. 

​

I have a deep sensitivity for ideation and process. Sketching, concept development, and research are the foundations of my studio practice and work flow. You can view process work and studies from my sketchbooks here.
