artist & designer with an affinity for patterns, material textures, and color combinations. exploring themes around the constructs of time, how mediums can be used as a record of time passing (or not… what is time anyways??) accumulating a language of pictorial abstractions for non-verbal storytelling. also accumulating scraps of leftover materials, in the hopes to repurpose them in future projects.

very much enjoys the company of dogs, walking places, actually stopping to smell the roses, stripes, salty vinegar chips, and making lists (especially when they can be crossed off). a university of oregon graduate with BA majors in fine art & product design, minor in anthropology. making things in ‘portland, oregon’ ~ glad you are here.

currently: knitting pieces for the colder months, tackling long overdue mends / alterations, thinking about getting my film camera repaired…
