I am a designer and curator living in Providence. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA before I moved to attend Rhode Island School of Design for Industrial Design.
Growing up I always envied great storytellers and visual artists, and it became a goal of mine to learn how to tell stories through a wide variety of ways. Lately I have been enjoying the process of making wearables and apparel!
I draw, animate, sculpt, sew, I like to do it all! However, the importance of being well rounded is highlighted in my work because I am able to draw from all that I have learned and experimented with.
If I’m not making work or thrifting for materials I am dancing or playing basketball or Mario kart. Maybe even talking about Avatar the Last Air Bender, (if you know you know) or my love for movies like Spider-verse and Coco.
Looking forward to showing everyone the power of materials and experimentation with processes!

Artist Statement
My love for basketball and footwear have inspired me to design and establish a sportswear and streetwear brand — Blacktop Market — that aims to highlight the intersections of basketball and sport in everyday life and culture.
Through my creative endeavors I seek to explore the capabilities of storytelling and the connectedness of people.
My aim is to explore and produce events and products that create and emphasize identity and community.
