About Me

I’m an art director, graphic designer, and artist from South Florida. My favorite thing to do when I’m not working or painting creating work across 2D and 3D, from illustration and merch design to sculpture. Inspired by the ocean and the natural world, I’ve partnered with marine conservation nonprofits to design merchandise that raises funds for wildlife protection and rehabilitation.

When I’m not working or making art, I love to garden, comb the beach for shark teeth and seashells; volunteer with the local Sea Turtle Conservation programs, and paddle board. I also love to make sculptures out of cardboard, recycled trash and clay (see Shelly Below).

As a Florida native, I’m very passionate about marine conservation. Volunteering with local marine nonprofits, I’ve helped care for, conserve, and rehabilitate hundreds of adult sea turtles and hatchlings.

I made this enrichment toy that this rehabilitating sea turtle is scratching her back on after breakfast! She was released shortly after.

Morning rescue missions for the disoriented babies who get stuck in pools and the dunes.

Volunteering my skillset to raise funds for a green sea turtle (while babysitting her as she sunbathes in rehab) is a core memory.

I taught art classes that encouraged exploration with color and natural materials, led joyful guitar sing-alongs during music sessions, and guided children in planting and observing vegetables, flowers and all the creatures our garden brought to the school.
