Growing up as an Army Brat, I developed a strong passion for creativity and self-expression. While I initially studied graphic design in art school, my curiosity about evolving graphic design methods led me to explore the world of computers. This led me to immerse myself in the tech industry, specializing in cutting-edge technologies for publishing, packaging, and color printing.

Throughout my career, I've held various roles in marketing, project management, and multimedia. But at my core, creating art is an essential part of who I am. Whether using traditional materials or the latest technology tools, artistic expression is ingrained in my identity.

Outside of work, I find fulfillment through volunteering. One of my commitments is with the Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County, where we provide valuable gardening information to the public.

Recently, I rediscovered the joy of working with clay, particularly through hand-building techniques. This creative pursuit allows me to connect deeply with myself and forge a profound bond between my artistic expression and the materials I shape.

I celebrate the art-making process by combining both technology and traditional tools, embracing the endless possibilities they offer.
