After graduating with a BA in Studio Art from Messiah University, I relocated to Berea, KY to be with family. To my fortune, Berea is a cornucopia of creativity that allows me to cultivate my crafts and expand my portfolio. Currently, I am a cermacist in residence at a local studio, Bobtown Arts. I am also collaborating with artist/activist, Bugz Fraug, to create a mural on behalf of a local grassroots coalition. When I’m not throwing at the wheel or collaborating with clients, my time is occupied by love for baking, woodworking, and fiber arts. Actively, I am targetting employment in graphic design and web development. As a designer, I provide for clients by bringing their vision to life through unique and refreshing adaptations using my versatile skillset.
