I was born and raised in Dayton Ohio. Growing up in a very artistic household, I always had the support to follow my drive to become a creative. After obtaining my BFA at the School of Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati, I knew I wanted to be that same supportive creative figure to my community as my family has been to me. One of my main goals is to connect people through creativity!

I love building and designing with unconventional materials using unconventional methods- from a quick sketch or detailed painting to a sculpture or photograph, I love experimenting with all forms of art. Yet, through all my different experimental mediums, clay has always been a constant. I am drawn to the endless forms and possibilities clay and ceramics have to offer. But one of my favorite aspects of ceramics is the ability to bring people together, to get muddy, and make art!
