Growing up, I was fortunate to have a mom who filled our home with art supplies—crayons, pastels, colored pencils, chalk, acrylic paint, markers, and glitter were always within reach. These tools fueled my creativity as a child and laid the foundation for my artistic journey. This was before the days of the internet and smartphones, and I’m grateful for the undistracted creativity of that time. It sparked a vivid imagination that has stayed with me throughout my life. Art has always been a part of who I am. Alongside my creative pursuits, I’ve always been an athlete. Years of competitive and collegiate soccer shaped my determination, teamwork, and resilience. Now, as a gym enthusiast and daily runner, those same characteristics continue to define me.

After years in veterinary medicine as a technician, I realized that something was missing: my need to create. My artistic passion naturally led me to Graphic Design, Illustration, Package Design, and Motion Graphics. The ability to combine technology with diverse media captivates me and fuels my inspiration. This realization led me to complete my degree in Fine Arts with a focus on Graphic Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. There, I honed my skills and learned the importance of grids, the power of negative space, and the impact of thoughtful simplicity. This training allowed me to balance my bold, vibrant artistic instincts with a refined approach to design.

Life has a way of shaping us along the journey. Through hardships, grief, trauma, and change come growth, knowledge, and understanding. From the sunny beaches of San Diego to Florida, North Carolina, and now the colorful mountains of Colorado, my experiences have profoundly influenced my perspective. While I’ll always be a San Diego native at heart, I deeply value the growth that comes from embracing change. These experiences have given me a stronger connection to storytelling and an understanding of the importance of reflecting a narrative in design. My work embodies a dynamic combination of playfulness, vibrant energy, and thoughtful precision. Inspired by my inner She Bear, I’m excited to bring strength, creativity, and impact to the world through design.
