Hello and welcome to my swirly world!
Growing up in San Francisco, CA, I was constantly attracted to the visual delights of the city: the vintage concert posters at the Fillmore, the street art and murals on Haight Street or around the neighborhood - even the stickers on the buses. There was art anywhere you looked, and I often found myself wanting to be immersed in that magical realm of color and imagination. I have been drawing since I was a kid, and I attribute a lot of my style and inspiration to my experiences growing up there.
My love of all things art followed me to college, where I studied music and communication. After graduating, I moved to Los Angeles. I sang and made short films, worked odd jobs, and eventually fell into social media. And while I enjoyed being a content creator, I fell in love with the artistic design aspects of the work, and I began to seek more of this. Soon I was creating more digital art and graphics, designing websites, art directing for photo shoots… anything that combined my love of art with my eye for design and creative expression.
Today I produce original drawings and paintings and offer a variety of whimsical creations, including a deck of Daily Inspiration cards, four coloring books, art prints, and custom graphics.
For business clients, I create a suite of marketing products including business cards, logos, graphics, motion graphics, custom typography and more. While I don’t run social media accounts for people anymore, I understand how social media algorithms work, what will pop and stand out, new trends, and also the necessity to remain true to yourself and your vision. If you choose to work with me, I guarantee that whatever we create will feel authentic to you and the work you are doing in the world.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you’ll lose yourself - if just for a moment - in my joyful world of whimsy and magic!
Enjoy! And if I can be of service please reach out. I love to collaborate and I’d love to make your vision come to life!

We are a good match if…
You want to be part of the creative process, and also respect my experience and expertise as the designer.
You understand quality work can take time. I will always work to meet the deadlines we set as early as possible, however, sometimes the approval and revision process can slow down the production timeline.
You want something special and unique. I will work with care and imagination to create something that is in true alignment with your brand, vision, and custom fit for you. We will go into detail about what you do and why you do it, and I will turn the ideas you have for your business, project, or commission into custom art through your logo design, typography, motion graphics, paintings, etc.
You are creating something awesome! I like to work with businesses and individuals who are creating good in the world – uplifting services, ethically sourced products that give back to the communities where the materials are harvested, no waste brands that plant trees for every product sold, educators, creatives, small businesses that make a difference in the community.
We are not a match if your business deals exclusively with animal byproducts such as leather goods – however, if you sell pineapple or cactus leather, please contact me. I would LOVE to work with you!
You like to have fun! You are creating your own business, pivoting or transitioning within your existing company, or maybe you just want some fun new art to hang on the walls. These are all super exciting things! This process should be fun and enjoyable. Let’s collaborate on a cool new product or art piece and have fun with it!
You like my aesthetic. Ultimately you have final say, and every project will be customized for you. So, if you resonate with my swirly, colorful yet minimal, detailed yet simple, magical, fantastical, whimsical, spiritual, playful design style, I’d love to explore the potential of a collaboration with you!
