Art from the Heart
Design is a delicate dance. We often think with our brains, see with our eyes and move with our feet, but how often do we design with our hearts? I consider myself a mission-based artist who is always looking to help.
Here is a collection of pieces I made through moments of sadness, uncertainty, or inspired by collective action to help heal the world. All of my pieces give-back in some way.
Host me: I do local pop-up shows and fundraising campaigns.

Hawk of Hope
Hawk of Hope is one of my favorite designs to date. I have a special connection with the hawks. In what I consider to be my darkest year of lessons in love, loss and growth, I have relied on my hawks to keep me going.

You Matter
You Matter is a design my heart called on when the world broke over the devastating news of tWitch. A time period marked by the realization that sometimes that happiest people have profound sadness inside of them that that keep away from others.

Joy is an Act of Resistance
Joy is an Act of Resistance was designed in early 2024 after watching months of the devastation that was been inflicted on the people of Gaza by the US and Israel. In such moments of destruction and grief, our joy is something they cannot take or destroy.

Life Will Be Good
Be good always, life will be good to you are words from my father who passed away when I was 18. A reminder that no matter how difficult life gets, and how dark the world becomes, be good to those around you and yourself. Designed as a winter theme for his December birthday.

Sober October
Sober October is a trend within the beverage industry calling on people to take a break from alcohol. I don’t drink much, but I had just spent the last 6 weeks over indulging as I prepped for my move to New England. I knew I needed to slow down and this was my call to action.

City Noise
City Noise came from deep reflection after someone asked me “what will you miss most” in reference to moving from my hometown. Aside from friends and family, it is the city noise and city soul. The city is a beautiful place. It helps you understand life isn't perfect and we all need to work together to have a good, happy, and decent life.

Let's Love Louder
Let’s Love Louder is my initiative to bring the beer community together for a Free Palestine. Through a collaborative fundraiser, 100% of the profits from merchandise sales will go to support Tomorrow’s Women, to provide immediate humanitarian aid to women, their families, and communities in Gaza through the Gaza Girls program.

Encampment
Encampment was inspired by the student-led encampment movement in solidarity with Palestine. Student-led movements are at the heart of political change against war and oppression in our country.
Leap of Faith
My life has taught me from a young age that everything changes and we have to find ways to thrive in the unknown. I made this graphic to express the duality of changes I was facing as I embarked on a new journey - leaving behind everything I once knew and longed for to go after the unknown for the possibility of peace.
The comfort of a few should not outweigh the suffering of many
Like many, I am frustrated with the recent presidential election results and the pending calamity surrounding what is to come with this next administration. Beyond that, our society has been declining for decades at the hands of the rich and elite. The best way I could channel this anger was to create the dual reality of the life we live. This piece is made up of the stark difference between millions of struggling Americans compared to a few.
hold on to hope a little longer
