Born and raised in the pacific northwest and introduced to burning man festival at age 17, I gained an early understanding that life does not have to be lived inside the box - that you can create a life as wildly as you can imagine it.

I earned my degree in fashion design, at FIDM, in Los Angeles, after which I designed private label for many big-box stores before switching gears and going freelance. At that time I created ‘wearable art’ uniforms and photoshoot styling for The Edison when it first opened, in 2006.

I then moved to norcal for the next 7 years - where i grew medical marijuana, created art, lived on the land, started a faerie-sized, residential, intentional community in the Oakland Hills, designed and hosted events, facilitated groups, was an organizer for the Evolver Network (in SF & Peru), and started a raw chocolate company. I have befriended, mixed and mingled with a diverse & inspiring array of humans, including visionary artists, activists, shaman, performers, musicians, designers, thought leaders, authors, witches, philosophers, freaks and geeks.

In 2012, I moved to manhattan, after falling head over heals for the pulse of that city. In new york I designed a chocolate lounge, wine and chocolate speakeasy, immersive living spaces, cafe and popup chocolate experiences + tradeshow booths. As the owner/creator of a high-end raw chocolate company, I worked with expensive brand managers and marketing firms, learning hard-won lessons in business development/strategy, brand story, packaging, fundraising and costing. Most often the design work done for me was not equal to the work I could produce on my own and rarely hit the mark of my vision. When I became a mother in 2016, my life as a designer/artist shifted gears and moved into the online space, where I began offering my talent for visual storytelling through web design, branding, business consulting and offering development.

I love working and collaborating with purpose-driven brands and people, who feel inspired to make a difference in the world, themselves and others.
