My story is filled with more side quests than I can count.

The photographer turned graphic designer turned branding aficionado turned aspiring author pipeline is real.

As an eldest daughter with no chill…

I've always been one to dive headfirst into new pursuits, or as I like to call it, "yearning for whimsy." But no matter what creative skills I've picked up, stories have always been at the heart of it all. Whether through art, photography, or now, words, I am constantly trying to capture tales in a new way.

My creative journey began with visual arts, but it was in my career as a full-time marketer and brand manager that I discovered the magic of wielding words. I was mesmerized by how they could build entire worlds and tell tales of love and loss that feel like gravity, or even defy physics by forcing someone unmoving into action. I decided it was time to channel that magic into my own art.

Join me on this expedition as we explore bottomless thematic chasms, trek through fields of taboo topics, and dare to dance with the stories that have been waltzing in the ballroom of my mind.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Maya Angelou

Beware, reader:

Finding your prince charming, becoming a mother, and reading endless amounts of fantasy can cause dragons to roam freely in your mind. When they do, they might rekindle a passion for multicultural mythologies and legends you've harbored since your early twenties. Most importantly, be careful, because a story will probably rise from the ashes they leave behind and beg to meet paper.
