My work explores memory, meaning, material culture, and our connection to the natural world.

Art
In art, I focus on kinesthetic and material storytelling—using natural, reclaimed, and unconventional materials to explore the rhythms of nature and life. I am inspired by cultural formation and expression, material culture, artifacts and patterns from folk traditions, botanical forms and symbolism, and the natural world.
My work resonates with collectors who want to feel grounded in wonder, more connected with themselves and the world around them, and curious about what it means to live and belong.

Writing
I write deeply character driven stories that explore relationships, social power dynamics, and our connection to nature and place. My writing comes from a background in comparative literature, cultural studies, and journalism. From 2020-2023, I was playwright-in-residence at Keegan Theatre in Washington, D.C. I also write fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry.
Design
For many years, I was called to put my creative efforts toward helping nonprofit and educational organizations use design as a tool for change. I have partnered with organizations including AARP, ASPCA, Brennan Center for Justice, Greenpeace, Harvard University, and National Education Association on work that builds opportunity, shapes policy, strengthens communities, and protects our planet.
