what i do.
create everything.
I love creating. In my free time, I work. On the weekends, I work. I love working, because it means I get to create things all of the time. It is what I was made to do. Each day, I go to my studio, sit at my computer, or my craft table, and start working on something I love.
Right now, I am working on designing a pack of playing cards in the style of Russian fairytale artist Ivan Bilibin, designing a Romantasy board game, I am writing a Victorian Gothic horror novel based on my childhood, I am weaving on my loom, I am working on an embroidery project for curtains in my home, creating paint chips for print work, I am designing websites, and making digital art. Creating gives me immense joy and contentment in my every day life.
I am excited about making videos, 3D concept art, fashion + costume design, print design, cover design, writing fiction, digital art, branding + identity work, ad design, design strategy, redesigns, publication design, environment design, and package design.
I would love to design books—the interiors and the cover art!
build stories.
I love research; to immerse myself into the details to find threads to pull out and combine into something tangible with texture and depth. This is the foundation for every project, and I believe this base should be strong and solid before building on top of it. I love getting down to the core of every design question: what is it that will connect people, and how do we expand this idea into a full story?
see DIFFERENTLY.
The path I took to becoming a designer was not traditional. I have found that my perspective on how things work, are perceived, can be combined, and what is possible, is unique. I find solutions that may not be seen by other designers. I pull from every aspect of my experience of being a human,every visual, every sound, every conversation, and create something that makes people stop, look longer, and think.
