I was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee and I've been creating for as long as I can remember. I always had a crayon in my hand growing up. In middle school I upgraded to a paintbrush and now I'm pursuing a design career. I am a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee with a BFA in Graphic Design. Graduating when I did, (2020 was a year of adaptability for all of us) I began pursuing a career in Art Education, and now have my Master's of Education. I have a background in fine arts, primarily painting, printmaking, and sculpting, and often use that as an inspiration for my work. I also have a background in theater. I enjoy using handcraft in my design. I am very passionate and dedicated when it comes to my work, I truly could not see myself as anything other than a creative.
