Making things is in my blood.

I'm the daughter of an art teacher and a furniture maker, as well as the granddaughter of a painter, ceramicist and weaver. Art is a way of life in my family and the need to create runs strong. As a child, I could be found among a scattering of pastels and beads, building forts in the woods, or in our old farmhouse attic making an imaginary world out of forgotten treasures.

With this creative upbringing, I went on to get my BFA and then worked as an Art Director in advertising in New York and Los Angeles for over a decade. This taste-making, conceptual, design and detail-oriented experience now informs my work as a Stylist.

I’m crazy about texture, color, pattern, light and the way objects play to create the perfect composition. The DTLA flower market is my happy place and I get absorbed hunting for the perfect props and ingredients all over town. The real fun comes with the rearranging, swatching, balancing, spritzing and “zhuzshing” on set. There’s nothing more satisfying than those final touches that make an image visually sing.

My focus is in still life, beauty, food and drinks, soft goods, set dressing and botanicals.

I’m based near the beach in sunny Los Angeles with my husband and our young daughters. I feel lucky to have found my dream job and am always looking for new collaborations. Please say hi!
