I have been playing in the mud since I was a little one. Learning how to sew, at 11, started the yearn to create things on a different level. I had already been doing ceramics since I was 6, and practically hung out at the Arts Center while my mom churned away at the wheel. I dreamt of many things; being a fashion designer, an interior designer, a florist, an architect, etc. They all revolved around making.

I graduated high school early to move to Germany to build an Earth House, but after realizing the difficulty of this dream I moved back to the U.S. to go back to College. I went to community college to play catch up, and then went to ASU to graduate with a B.A. in Industrial Design and a B.S. in Sustainability. I continued on to work at Adidas as an Assistant Color Designer before realizing that corporate wasn’t for me…in fact, working for anybody wasn’t for me.

I’ve been a smoothie pusher, a hostess, a backstocker at hollister, a print shop assistant, an assistant manager at a digital fabrication lab, and an assistant to a ceramicist where I mostly sold for her at markets.

BUT none of the above ever made me happy, nothing but creating things, alone in my world can satisfy me.
