I’m a multidisciplinary artist and creative producer based in Los Angeles. I earned a BFA in Photography and a BA in Music from Parsons School of Design in New York (Class of 2015). Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with brands like Netflix, H&M, Burt’s Bees, Universal Music Group, and the Academy of Motion Pictures. My fine art has been exhibited internationally and is part of permanent collections, including at LACMA.

Painting became not just a medium, but a form of survival.

The experience also ignited a passion for teaching. Once I recovered, I began volunteering at the Braille Institute in Los Angeles, where I teach printmaking to blind and visually impaired individuals. I also lead workshops at Painted Brain, a nonprofit supporting people facing mental health challenges. Sharing art as a tool for healing and connection is now central to my practice.
