Born + raised in New York, I always knew the world was a big place. Not traveling much as a kid sparked my passion for exploring new places and one day seeing the world.
After finishing college and working as an engineer, I knew there was more to life than being stuck in an office for the next 40+ years. I began to pursue graphic design, so I could help others with my creativity, travel more, and control my own schedule. Once I got a taste, I never looked back.
How I Got Started...
Like a lot of people, I went to college to pursue a career I thought was good for me and would lead to a lot of success. While I did learn so much and thrived in college, it was hard for me to see what was next. When graduation came and went, I was left feeling disconnected from the future ahead.
After some time of searching endlessly through job listings, applying, interviewing, and getting rejected; I landed my first mechanical engineering job. While it certainly wasn't my first choice of industry, I was thrilled and grateful to have a job in the field I spent many years studying.
This job taught me SO much - in more ways than just the work I was doing. Being one of only four women at the company, out of 50+ men, I knew it wasn't the right place for me long term. Wanting to have a plan instead of abruptly quitting, I started to research other jobs and opportunities that were out there.
Besides applying to other positions in engineering, I began to find information about HTML coding for designing and building websites. I thought it could be the perfect balance for my intuitive engineering side and free-spirted artistic side.
Once the pandemic really hit and stopped a lot of work from happening, I knew I had a choice to make. I decided then to passionately follow my dreams and never looked back. I strive to continue building this life of independence and freedom while helping others achieve that same dream.
Which Way To Go Now?

“The danger of adventure is worth a thousand days of ease and comfort.”

Being an artist, I don't always know the best words to express my feelings or values. As a child I spent a lot of time drawing and writing out quotes that really resonated with me. Even today, I love when I come across a quote that explains perfectly a feeling or experience I've shared, so I thought the best way to share what is important to me would be through some of my favorite quotes that have helped me keep going.
"Resilience is a choice. It's choosing to rise above your circumstances, no matter how difficult, and become the person you're meant to be."
- David Goggins
“Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”
