I am a self-taught artist making modern, nature-inspired wooden art and decor that blends organic elements with geometric design. My work combines woodworking, painting, and pyrography, all crafted by hand from start to finish in my woodshop and home studio.

My inspiration comes from years of travel and a deep connection to the outdoors. I aim to capture the calm and grounding presence of nature in each piece, using materials like unique, irregularly grained wood that others might overlook. My style evolves from sketchbook explorations of simplified natural forms meeting clean geometric shapes, resulting in a distinctive aesthetic that feels both modern and connected to nature.

What began as a solo endeavor in 2015 grew into a full-time partnership with my husband Josh in 2019. While I lead the design process, every piece is shaped through collaboration. Together, we’re always working to refine our creativity and craftsmanship, always focused on creating work that brings a sense of peace and connection to any space where it is displayed.
