about
As a multi–disciplinary artist and designer working out of the Chicagoland area, I am moved by people, place, and anything I come across that expresses the humility that is found throughout humanity. In my work, I seek to communicate my overall enthusiasm for life, personal connection and honesty. I am specifically interested in the way asking my audience to interact with my projects can offer a more individualized experience for them to remember.
If you’d like to collaborate on a project, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out:
