About Me!

Born and raised in Orange County, California, I spent my adolescent years enjoying the beach, bonfires with friends, and the sunny California weather. After graduating from high school, I took a year off to travel, where I discovered a passion for designing candles, dreamcatchers, and jewelry. At 19, I launched my first company, Sea Change, and successfully placed my handmade items in over eight stores across Orange County. I then started making up-cycled high-end children's clothing. My children’s jackets later landed me an exclusive contract with a boutique near Laguna Beach, which housed many of my products until I moved to Los Angeles.

After a successful year in business, I pursued formal education in business and fashion, attending college for nearly two years. During this time, I was offered a modeling contract in Los Angeles, where I worked with numerous brands, including L'Oréal, Apple, Sonos, Ulta Beauty, and Dita Sunglasses, which were displayed in Sunglass Hut at the Beverly Center. My work has also been featured in Vogue Italia, Elle Magazine, Salon Magazine, Flaunt Magazine, and various other print and digital publishing magazines.

Following my time in LA, I moved to New York City, where I achieved my dream of walking in New York Fashion Week and was taking meetings with modeling agencies to stay in New York indefinitely.

When the pandemic hit, I returned to California to be closer to family. During this period, I reconnected with my creative roots, starting my first major art project, 1156. Within 90 days, I transformed the walls of a Bel Air home with my artwork, sparking opportunities to create art for homes, stores, and restaurants throughout California.

By 2021, my art was creating buzz, leading to invitations to showcase in prestigious galleries. My first exhibit was in June that year at BG Gallery in Santa Monica, only a year after starting to paint professionally. I sold a piece to a well-known child actor turned art collector. Within a month, I had three more exhibits planned, including one on July 4th in my hometown at Lagunaart.com Gallery, where I reconnected with friends and neighbors and got a local reality star to come see my work. He helped put Laguna Beach on the map for millions of people in the early 2000s, and there he stood with me, admiring my newest artwork displayed on the walls above. Days later, I went international with my first exhibit in Milan, Italy, after a curator discovered my work on Instagram. Showing my art in Milan, next to the cathedral in that ancient city, a newfound passion for art made its first appearance outside America.

Following my successful Italian showing, a pop-up gallery near Rodeo Drive invited me to co-host an exhibit in Beverly Hills, where about 20 pieces of my art were shown in the heart of Beverly Hills. Exhausted but inspired as the summer was coming to an end, I had started to get a great collection of collectors interested in my work. It was September when I discovered digital art and NFTs, transforming my real-life art into digital pieces. By December 2021, I showcased my digital art at the SLS Hotel for Art Basel and for a private yacht exhibit in the same week.

In 2022, I launched my first collection of clothing and accessories inspired by my art, successfully placing my designs in stores across Los Angeles, including two on Melrose and two on Abbot Kinney. Grateful for all the support, the one I felt most excited about was Principessa, the perfectly designed hidden gem on Abbot Kinney. At the same time, I was selling my art internationally, even though I had taken a bit of time off to focus on my clothing line. At the beginning of 2023, I opened a boutique in Los Angeles where my art and fashion creations were sold for about a year. I later closed the boutique to focus on redeveloping and reinventing myself through a more digital presence in 2024.

Currently, I am working on several projects. I recently published a children’s book titled A.B.C.s Cyber Jungle, which emphasizes education and development through coloring and tracing letters. I created a lighthearted collection of line art animal sketches for this book, integrating a digital cyber element shown on the front and back covers. To complement my A.B.C.s Cyber Jungle coloring book, I launched a matching clothing collection called Cyber Jungle. Additionally, by the end of 2024, I will be launching a matching art collection for Cyber Jungle, along with an artist edition of the coloring book to showcase how the art was colored in my perspective. Officially closing out one productive year with a bang!
