I grew up a country bumpkin wielding a paintbrush. I painted murals, took art commissions, ran a clothing business. Naturally, I wanted to pursue art; however, I wanted my creativity to also comfort, earn trust, and repair relationships. So I took a leap of faith into Industrial Design at Rhode Island School of Design, where I first truly learned to build discipline, expect discomfort, and surprise myself. Now, I get to do this everyday!

In my free time I go fishing, play with my cat, and wander the forests of New England, where I call home.
