I strongly believe that every human being possesses creative potential, it only takes passion and practice to bring it out. Art is not something reserved for the elite few, but a communication tool that anyone can use to express their ideas, emotions, and lived experiences. My hope is that through teaching I can help students build confidence in their own work, develop a drive to improve, and to achieve their artistic goals in school and in life.

I graduated from Portland State University in 2018 and currently work as a freelance Graphic Artist and Web Designer. I have extensive experience with printed media, branding, marketing, event design, and user experience design, but my personal artistic practice is much more broad. I love experimenting with different mediums and materials, including paper collage, sculpture, photography, music, and interactive digital media/game design.
