FAQ
(Insert accordion box here)
You can have structure, support, and strategy;
without losing your creative freedom.
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.
What working with me feels like:
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
I take pride in merging artistry, strategy, and intuitive support. Whether I’m directing a brand, guiding a story, or designing a workflow, my focus is always on creating work that feels aligned, purposeful, and beautifully executed.

A little about me, and a lot about why this matters.
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 believe in enchanted structure, dandelion wishes, collaborative mythmaking, and the kind of creative partnership that feels like a story unfolding. ✨

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.
