From the tender age of twelve, crafting with her Dad to honor their family traditions, to immersing herself in colorful creativity with her Mom and Granny, she has stitched together a rich tapestry of experiences. Each moment spent in the warm embrace of family and art has inspired her playful designs that dance with vibrancy and character.
Every piece is a celebration of creativity that draws upon her deep-rooted love for repurposed materials. Whenever she scours the wood shop scrap bin or the thrift store for fabrics, it’s like digging for buried treasure; every piece tells a story waiting to be discovered.
