a little about me…

I am a freelance illustrator and museum exhibit designer living in Austin, Texas.

Yep, I do both! Sometimes I even get to illustrate for museum exhibits. What can I say? I’m multi-passionate! From set design and illustration to interactive experiences and spatial planning, I employ art, design, and storytelling across a range of projects in a range of industries which all seek the same end: to tell a good story.

I studied Art & Design at the University of Michigan where I honed my visual communications skills and inadvertently discovered a love of narrative design through theater and shadow puppetry. My childhood fascination with staging scenery for doll dramas inspired a move back to my home state of Texas to earn an MFA in Scenic Design from the University of Texas at Austin. There, my set designs were often heavily illustrated and vibrantly colorful eliciting much joy from the scenic paint department. My challenge has always been to merge my love of illustration with the built environment.

I have had the pleasure of designing immersive sets for Universal Studios Orlando Halloween Horror Nights, creating illustrations and guest experiences for unique brands, and educational exhibit designs for museums.
