I help individuals, teams, and organizations bring their ideas into form—whether that means art direction, brand identity, illustration, collaborative storytelling, or the kind of project management that turns inspiration into something tangible. I blend intuitive creativity with grounded strategy so your world, project, or brand can flourish with clarity and magic.
I offer a trio of services for clients who want art, storytelling, and direction handled with care. Whether you’re building a brand, crafting a world, or nurturing a creative practice, I help you shape your vision with intention and artistry.
Art direction, branding, brand management, graphic design, and project management for creators, small businesses, and organizations. I help you refine your visual voice, strengthen your identity, and bring your projects from concept to completion with clarity and cohesion.
Original fine art, commissions, classes, workshops, research-based projects, and creative services that invite connection, curiosity, and embodied expression. I offer art experiences designed to nurture both personal growth and artistic skill.
Public or private GMing, player-character performances for live streams, narrative illustration, layout, design, world-building guidance, and creative project management. I bring theatricality, emotion, and structure to help stories unfold in unforgettable ways.

Most creatives worry that hiring help means losing their voice or diluting the magic. My approach is the opposite: I listen deeply, build systems that reflect who you are, and protect your creative spark throughout the entire process.I’ve spent years working across the arts, community programming, design, storytelling, and creative operations—supporting people who think in spirals, symbols, and stories, not spreadsheets alone. My work blends grounded project management with an intuitive understanding of creative flow, neurodiversity, and the emotional life of a project.I don’t arrive with a rigid formula. I build frameworks that flex with you.

A collaborative approach grounded in clarity and care
Structure that adapts to your rhythm, not the other way around
Creative problem-solving rooted in curiosity and intuition
A relationship that protects your vision and amplifies your voice

You want someone who can hold the big picture and the fine details. Someone who understands the emotional landscape of creativity as deeply as the logistics. Someone who respects your world—whether that’s a brand, a painting, or an entire fictional universe.That’s the core of my studio practice: helping people transform ideas into experiences that feel alive, intentional, and beautifully crafted.My background spans art and design, community storytelling, studio management, and multidisciplinary creative work. I’ve worked with emerging artists, established brands, independent creators, public institutions, and teams who needed both direction and imaginative partnership.And because I’m queer, neurodivergent, and deeply invested in creative sanctuary, I build spaces where your energy, identity, and process are honored—not pushed aside.
I began working at 14 (with approval by the state of Arkansas.) I have never stopped working since. My experiences and skills vary greatly from the range of environments I’ve found myself evolving in...

Current obsessions include inline skating, learning how to do The Work, and finding balance in life's beautifully changing chaos.
I am an interdisciplinary artist, experiential designer, and storyteller dedicated to crafting meaningful encounters rooted in intention, culture, and care. My work supports small businesses, artisan creators, and community-focused projects through boutique services that honor craftsmanship, narrative, and ethical collaboration.Guided by a commitment to quality over quantity, I design immersive experiences and thoughtful visual ecosystems that help clients bring their dreams into form—whether through brand development, curated environments, or story-led creative direction.Alongside my individual practice, I am building a traveling cooperative market that helps artisans share their work beyond their local regions, expanding access while preserving the integrity of handmade and heart-made craft. Every project I take on is approached with respect, presence, and a belief that creativity can be a form of sanctuary when tended with honesty and intention.
