Creativity has always been my north star, but it wasn't until a high school art class that I truly set my sights on becoming a professional artist. Drawing that first charcoal masterpiece (“masterpiece” being subjective) sparked a lifelong passion for capturing the world around me through expressive mark-making.

Fast forward to earning my BFA, I dove headfirst into various creative fields, obsessed with how art shapes each one. From graphic design and illustration to large-scale murals, I explored it all. This solidified my passion for the industry and ignited a decade-long career.

Currently, as Director of Operations for the studio, Lefty's Right Mind, I play a pivotal role in design conceptualization and execution for high-profile clients like Ralph Lauren, Jimmy Choo, and Steve Madden. By night, I'm a dedicated portrait artist, honing my craft. This double act has made me a well-rounded creative, bringing both reliability and unique problem-solving (think brainstorming with a splash of paint!).
