The design career wasn't a detour. Twenty-five years of commercial interior design taught me how to think about color at scale, how a single visual decision ripples through an entire room, how to build something beautiful under real constraints.

I brought all of that back into the studio with me. What changed was who I was making things for. Now it's for the kid who needs to see themselves in a story. For the brand that wants artwork with a genuine point of view. For the licensing partner who needs work that holds up across a full product line. I work digitally with a painterly style rooted in watercolor and gouache — warm, character-driven, and built to feel like something you'd want to hold in your hands.
