︎︎︎ About
︎︎︎ Visual Art
︎︎︎ Art Direction + Design


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 wide range of projects and mediums, I utilizes a distinct visual language - with references to outdoor play and regional pride - to approach my work from concept to creation.

While grounded in design, with a BFA in Graphic Design from Boston University and over 5 years of professional design experience, I love to explore alternate mediums under Sucka Free Certified- an apparel project I founded in 2020. Through SFC I started working with felt material, and in 2023 I started exploring compositions with the same material. In September 2024, Cafe Chrystie presented my first solo show with my stitched felt on canvas pieces. I have since been commissioned by Phillips Auction House, been featured in Thrasher Magazine(April 2025), and had a piece exhbited in the FTC NYC Group Art Show

I was born and raised in San Fracisco, and am now based in between NYC and Barcelona, where I’m currently pursuing a Masters degree in Art Direction & New Narratives at Elisava. I previously held designs positions at Big Spaceship, R/GA, and Converse.
