I’m a Midwest girl on a lifelong journey to be a better me. Through creativity, personal growth, and a dose of adventure, I hope to cultivate a life that is more abundant, joyful, and rewarding.

When I’m not at my day job writing code for Apple, I’m illustrating my favorite foods, hunting down local craft fairs, or filling up my phone storage with pictures of my cat Moony. I find restoration through being in nature, whether it’s going for a morning run in the park or hiking through remote mountains. My simple pleasures in life are candlelit bubble baths, the smell of incense on a rainy day, and food-shaped ceramics (food-shaped anything, really).

I’ve lived in Michigan, Philly, Seattle, San Francisco, and even Hawaii for a bit. I love spontaneous connections and unexpected friendships, immersing myself in different cultures, and wandering through vast cities and small towns. But my happiest place still is on a picnic blanket in a grassy park on a sunny day.
