Atlanta-raised, SCAD-trained, and shaped by a grandmother who painted. I spend my days translating complex ideas into clear print and presentation design for enterprise clients, and the rest of my time drawing people one dot at a time.

THE STORY

Attention is a form of love.

I grew up watching my grandmother paint. She wasn't fast and she wasn't loud about it. She just kept looking until she got it right, and everything I've made since has come from that.

I studied graphic design at SCAD and spent the next several years in the corporate world: executive decks for consulting teams, infographic systems for Siemens, e-books for a healthcare publisher. That work taught me hierarchy, restraint, and how to make something dense feel effortless to read.

Stipple portraiture came alongside it. The technique is thousands of dots placed by hand over weeks. It's slow enough to sit with emotional highs and lows, which is why the work has moved from likeness toward inner life, symbol, and presence.

When my grandmother passed, I designed a tribute magazine for her. It was the first time the two halves of my practice met in one object, and it's the reason memorial design is now a full part of what I do.
