Morning meditations
Long coffee walks
Salty hair, sandy toes
Lucid dreaming
Messy hands, playful heart
Step lightly, love deeply
with love,
I believe in mindfulness, in beauty, in wonder, in awe. I believe in curating an active lifestyle inspired by nature and presence of mind. I believe the aesthetics of our environment influence our drive, our productivity, and our state of being, and I consider nesting to be an art form. I am an artist, a lucid dreamer, a free diver, a runner, a reader, a friend, an adventurer, a seeker, a creator.

Today, I embrace holistic design as the ultimate celebration of creative expressions.
I am a Creative Director, an artist, a storyteller, a dreamer. I delight in collaboration with innovators and entrepreneurs, distilling dreams into tangible expressions. My purpose is to serve as a creative medium, bringing abstract ideas to fruition as inspiring, holistic brand experiences.
These early visions manifested through any medium I could reach - finger paints, clay, and earth art, in my youngest years - figurative illustrations, abstract painting, kinetic sculpture, and eventually digital media as I evolved and refined my craft into adulthood. These experiences shaped the way I approach creative collaboration—rooted in authenticity, intention, and a love for storytelling.
My dance with the creative spark began in my earliest memories - vivid lucid dreamscapes that bled imperceptibly between waking and sleeping. Dreams unbound by distinctions between "reality" and the phantasmagoria behind my eyelids. In those days of infinite imagination and childlike delight, I was the writer, director, cinematographer, set designer, and FX artist of an endless dreamworld, blissfully oblivious to any real world limitations on my creativity.
From concert photography, to visual design for broadcast television; from furniture and home decor design to identity branding and marketing; from websites and digital products to 360 brand experiences - my creative career has been as expansive as it has been fulfilling.
I live for my hands in the dirt, deep breaths of green air, swimming in the sea, daisy chains, grounding in the grass. My roots run deep.

A fish, water nymph, spring sprite - I live for the flow state. On land it's through creating, running, movement. Otherwise, just add water and I'll happily drift away.

Intuitive, deeply feeling, a poet at heart. I believe words matter, and if an extra moment spent listening and sharing can mean a world of difference to just one person, it's worth every second.

On paper...
...are intuition and emotional intelligence. I am a translator between C-suite executives driving bottom line business strategy and the designers, engineers, and operators who are tasked with implementing those goals. I lead my creative teams with kindness, patience, and the underlying principle of diplomacy - that our shared visions are manifested through empathetic collaboration, and that good ideas become great through creative critique. That no singular specialty holds the optimal solution in an echo chamber. That understanding the needs, sensibilities, and dreams of our audiences is paramount. That we can build beautiful experiences and have fun
