Statement

Born in Ohio with seven other siblings, I was brought up in a home full of agriculture, music and culture. After moving 2,000 miles away from my comfortable life, I found a new group of friends and discovered myself in the outdoors. I then made another life altering move by enrolling at ArtCenter. I had to go through an internship and several jobs to pave the way to Pasadena. Coming from six terms in illustration to wearables and soft goods in product design, I want to bring an upbeat and sincere outlook to the industry. I therefore approach color, pattern and design from a genuinely sentimental and introspective viewpoint. My passion lies in the outdoor industry: celebrating genuine emotion through color, materials, and pattern.
