I am a paper collage artist, animator, and graphic designer. My personal work often explores themes of relationships to landscape, family, and memory. I completed a BFA at the University of Michigan in 2021, where I expanded my practice into mixed media animation, film and visual design. I come from a family who works in Metals Manufacturing in the US Midwest, and Logging in the US South. These connections influenced my decision to pursue a Master's of Management from Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, where I was able to explore my interests in the role of business in local and global communities. I currently work as an Educational Media Producer at Brown University.
