My Story

Perhaps you recognize the pattern: prioritizing the needs of others over one's own desires. Blocked by societal expectations and performing perfection, with little room for play.

In 2020, I decided it was time to shift, to unmask, to let my creativity take up more space. It has been a challenging, non-linear journey, and the most meaningful thing I’ve ever done.

Because my business, art, and research are focused expressions of my full self. 
My goal is simple: help you create with courage — whether you're an organization planning for what's next for the team, a leader reimagining your role, or a creative looking to reconnect with your intuition. 

If any part of this sounds like where you are right now, let's get to know each other

My business, art, and research are focused expressions of my full self. 
  • Look to history to understand how artists cultivate belonging and build power through self-expression 
  • Facilitate healing spaces where people recover their creative potential 
  • Produce immersive audio stories inspired designed to slow you down and pull you in.
