Jay’s Local Pop-Up

Better together.

I grew up in poverty and felt the restrictions on life, but also felt the warmth of community. Since then, I dream of a world where everyone is free and has the resources they need. A world where we take care of each other through community, empathy, and action.

Change the world with me!

More than beer.

Beer is part of how I got here…the other part is my heart! I started beer-blogging as a way to highlight women in the industry and the breweries doing great work. I quickly realized, I am more than beer and I want to talk about real life things, perhaps with a beer in hand.

Follow my journey!

Activist. Artist. Designer. Dreamer.

Changing the world with art community, kindness, hope, empathy, compassion and love.

Branding

With shapes, colors, and text, we find meaning

Photography

Finding the light in darkness - the way life was meant to be.

Community

Projects that build hope and strengthen our communities

Be a hawk of hope for yourself and others.

The vision to others, especially our most vulnerable community members, through art, activism, and non-profits has been a driving factor in my art and services.

Let’s build stronger communities, foster change, and give everyone a chance to find a hawk of hope in this world.

The Art of Helping People

I am an Artist, Activist, Designer, and Dreamer focused on the art of helping people and making the world a better place through graphic design, branding, and community involvement. My art and services are rooted in vulnerability, compassion, and crafting change in a world that often feels isolating and dark. 

I started out in beer photography and designing beer labels, but my focus has shifted as I evolve as a person, an artist, and witness the destruction around us. I unequivocally denounce the genocide on Gaza and any narrative that this the cost of “war”. Never in the history of conflict has war been the root of peace.

I started my Let’s Love Louder campaign because we live in a world where we amplify hate and sideline acts of love and humanity. We live in a world where we are scared to show joy, love, and vulnerability for fear of being hurt. I want to remind others: love is courageous and is the foundation of crafting change. Free Palestine, Lebanon, Congo, Sudan, Yemen and all oppressed people around the world!
