About me

I’ve always been drawn to tiny things (miniatures, insects, etc.) I moved a lot as a kid, but I felt that connection everywhere I've lived. I had a knack for discovering teeny treasures. My love for small things has grown with me and is why I work primarily in textiles. There's intimacy involved in embroidery, sewing, and weaving.There are two sides to my creativity. One side combines my traditional textile techniques with social commentary on clothing waste and the effects of fast fashion. The other side is self-reflection, where I experiment with how I define my feelings and personal experiences.
