I have worked professionally in the creative industry for 15 + years across diverse industries in Fashion, Photography & Design.
Working independently as a creative entrepreneur ever since - Ive build my own business’s, worked alongside established brands and outsourced my talents and visions to grow small and big name brands through out the years.
Graduated from the Art Institute of California in San Diego with a bachelors degree in Marketing, with a emphasis on fashion. My world from there changed, finding the Visual Artist inside of me and what has been a 15 year journey of creating for a living, traveling the world, meeting amazing people and landed at making a living off my visions and talents was a dream come true.
Not given, not luck .. but accumulated over time and hard work, building while still learning, building but still failing … the key is not always knowing, but it is always growing.
Grew up in the suburbs of Chicago in the early 90’s - a time when life was simple & before phones and computers came for our time & attention. That allowed my love for the world of music, fashion, dance & art from a young age to form, it always gave me a feeling, the deep thoughts and big dreams. Later we head out west to a small town (at the time)In Northern Idaho looking for a simpler life.
Pregnant at 22, a single mom by 23 and not a clue … we must now embrace the unknown, the path to who Id truly become with a lot of challenges ahead.
Food Stamps came in handy while I was searching for some direction and ease that I was meant for more.
My curiosity for something more sparked a idea to head to the sunny coast of southern California, a young adult with the world wide open and palm tress as far as I can see. Who wouldn’t want to live barefoot on the beach roaming the streets of Ocean Beach, Ca where the smell of salt water paired with the bums & garbage somehow was the place to be.
