BIOGRAPHY

ARTIST, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND BETTER THAN AVERAGE DRUMMER

I started to draw around the time I started talking, and my life has been filled with visual art and music ever since.  I’ve been playing the drums since age 6.  Back then my cool sisters’ record collections filled my head with stories and rhythms and my obsession with comic books and drawing gave me an outlet to create and apply my inspirations. Visual art and music go together.

Prior to becoming a full-time artist in 2022, I was Global Creative Director of Digital and Branded Entertainment for Saatchi & Saatchi Fallon Group and Global Creative Director of Burson Marsteller. My previous career informs how I use the contours of language and text as a way to spark moments of joy, recognizable beats, sways and colors that sing to the viewer's delight.
