Where were you born?
Cincinnati, Ohio.

Where do you live now?
All over! I travel frequently for work, but I maintain a studio in Cincinnati.

In one sentence what is unique about your work?
My work balances feminine themes with a fresh, contemporary style.

Why do you do what you do?
My job combines art, fashion, and technology. I love that I can utilize a skill and have it reflect a company's aesthetic. Not to mention working in my field leaves room for a lot of different projects in the fashion and graphic design world. There's a lot of collaborating and diversity in my work.

What inspires you?
Anything and everything, but I'm particularly interested in the beauty industry as of late. I've been drawing fashion figures for as long as I can remember, it's nice to work on close up illustrations depicting different beauty looks and focusing on the different features of the face and hair. You can really get into creating a person and defining things like their eye shape, their lips, and their unique characteristics. It's like matching a person to the theme of the brand. It's fun!

Describe your personal style.
Feminine and simple-sexy. Something that embraces femininity, but isn't exactly "girly". I like little black dresses and fitted tops. I'm really loving off-the-shoulder right now. Most of my clothing items are just flat color. A pop of lace or some delicate jewelry is enough to be eye-catching. I love Self-portrait for the brand's very modern, but delicate, take on lace.

Your ultimate must-have.
LBDs--one for day/work events, one for going out!

What superpower would you have and why?
To fly. I'd fly straight to Cancun for the blue water and authentic tacos.

What is next for you?
Youtube! Aside from client work, the next thing on my table is a youtube channel featuring clips from my live sketch events, travels, and tutorials on fashion sketching. I'll also be collaborating with a few brands in the fall.
