I’m a multi-disciplinary artist and designer with a diverse studio practice bridging textile art, apparel design, art direction, and graphic design. Across a range of projects and mediums I utilize a distinct visual language, with references to outdoor play and regional pride, to approach my work from concept to creation.
While grounded in design & art direction, with a BFA in Graphic Design from Boston University, a Masters in Art Direction & New Naratives from Elisava, and over 6 years of professional experience - I love to explore alternate mediums under Sucka Free Certified(SFC), an apparel project I founded in 2020. Through SFC, I started working with felt material, and in 2023 I began making compositions on canvas with the same felt material. In September 2024, NYC’s Cafe Chrystie presented a series of these stitched felt on canvas compositions for my debut solo exhibition. I have since been commissioned by Phillips Auction House, been featured in group shows at FTC & Court Tree Collective, and presented a second solo exhibition at Moments Festival 2025 in Málaga, Spain.
I was born and raised in San Fracisco and have built my art + design practice in NYC, where I previously held design positions at R/GA and SPCSHP. I am currently freelancing fulltime.
