I’m a lifelong multidisciplinary artist & small business owner skilled in stained glass, sewing, and dance.
After earning my BA in Dance and finishing DPT prerequisite classes, I was ready to apply to a master’s program in physical therapy when I realized I needed to go into a field where my creativity and cultivated skills as a product designer were utilized in tow with helping people.
Having 2 years of experience in UX/UI and over 10 years of experience with bringing sketch to products as an artist, my ever-changing design process overlaps with the process used for UX-- uncovering an established bridge between my background and UX. I'm excited to continue my journey in this field!
When I’m not working, you can find me sewing garments for my wardrobe, propagating my collection of plants, or playing tennis (still a newb!).
I'm a self taught stained glass artist! I started in my home during the lockdown in 2020 and have created and sold pieces ever since.

All bags started off with unbleached duck canvas fabric and turned into:
