“An artist based just outside the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with previous experience living and working in New York City. I specialize in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle illustrations. When creating, I love using mixed media such as inks, colored pencils, watercolors, markers, gouache, & occasionally unconventional materials like make-up. When I’m away from my tools, I’ll turn to my iPad to create digitally.
I graduated from The Art Institute with a BA in fashion merchandising/Management. During my time at school, I took a fashion illustration class where I discovered my love for illustration. After graduating, I began working for a fashion brand focusing on business development, visual merchandising, and training all within the wholesale environment. I eventually moved to NYC for work, little did I know, my fashion illustration journey would also begin & this is when the real adventure started. Since 2017, I have built a thriving freelance career, collaborating with major fashion department stores and luxury brands to create compelling visual stories through events & partnerships. Currently I’ve returned back to school to further develop my skillsets in graphic design”
