ABOUT

I am an apparel designer and artist that is passionate about the emotional connection between a quality item of clothing, its owner and the impact it has on the environment. I consider design to be a profession of great responsibility and I focus on intent, purpose and sustainability. I strive to bring artisanship, beauty and integrity to the product creation process in the professional world. As an artist, whether it be ceramics, fiber arts, or illustration I lean into my curiosity of the process, materials, and environment so as to constantly grow and improve.

I currently reside in Portland, OR and happily accept any opportunity to travel near and far.  Close friends have described me as altruistic, thoughtful, adaptive, multi-faceted, knowledgeable, and a true polymath.

I get outdoors as much as I can to go rock climbing, skiing, hiking and camping. When I’m not creating something with my hands, I enjoy yoga, typewritten letters, seafood, wine, planning road trips, my 1981 Datsun Pickup Truck and my goldendoodle Olaf.
