I live in LA with my husband, Ryan, my daughter, Rylie and a gray cat named Zipper. I am a work at home mama and learning how to juggle it all day to day, moment by moment. I love to be outside, I love to be creative and I love to be with my family. If I can do all of that at the same time, well trifecta!

I find peace in making stuff. I find energy in making stuff. Both of which I need in spades. I strive for expression in my work, not perfection. Perfection is banal and yet so persistent, isn’t it! I cast it aside, but there it is, creeping back whenever I’m not paying attention. I am consistently drawn to all that is bold and graphic. I love rambunctious color palettes, optical illusions, repetition and insane amounts of detail. I’ve been like this for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I would lay my Crayolas on the floor in rainbow order, and then proceed to color each word in the expired TV Guide a different color, until it was just pages and pages of rainbows.

Besides all of that stuff, I also like: vintage buttons, wrapping paper, fabric, typography, small towns, ric rac, ranunculus, cats, books, and super long walks. I dream of someday owning a house that has a porch, a garden, a fireplace and maybe even a chicken or two. Until then I'll make do with my rental here in LA, which is very nice in it's own rentalish sort of way.

My two favorite concerts that I ever went to were: Wilco, Santa Barbara Bowl, August 26, 2007 and David Byrne, Greek Theater, October 3, 2008. In that order. But, I have yet to see Fleet Foxes, so we’ll see . . .
