I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator from Spokane, WA.

I have been passionate about art and design for as long as I can remember. Posters, displays, advertisements, and packaging have always caught my eye.

Originally, my dream was to be a comic book artist. I spent my entire junior high school career painstakingly sketching and inking panels for my comic book, Totally Obvious Man (displaying a complete disregard for silly things like Algebra and English). When the comic developed a following, I taught myself html and posted it online.

My interest in the field of Graphic Design was sparked when I took a desktop publishing class my freshman year of high school. Using the computer to manipulate images and text, I was fascinated by the melding of the traditional art world with the virtual world. Through my digital art, I enjoy playing with the perception of the viewer by using heavy textures on 2D surfaces. Creating pieces that pull the eye in and appear almost touchable.

For my jewelry designs I pull inspiration from my childhood (so totally 80's) and from current fashion trends. I remember being totally in love with my orange neon stretch pants, crimped hair, pink glitter scrunchie, and light up LA Gear shoes when I was little... I guess I never really grew out of that.
