I am an artist and a storyteller. I want to use my art to tell your stories.

As a child, immersion into all forms of visual and performing arts ingrained a need for me to be actively creative as an adult. My driving force is having a career in graphic design as my primary creative outlet, in a place where I can help to nurture other creative minds in a growth-centric environment which has a respect for family and values ethical behavior.

A little bit about myself, I live in Brooklyn, MI, with my fiance and 3 cats. I love to sing and I'm very creatively inclined in all directions. I went to art school to become a full time graphic designer, and ended up doing my senior show in charcoal, something I'd never dreamed would be something I would get in to. Even after graduating with my BA I'm still curious about all artistic methods, and continuously sign up for new classes as I'm able to afford them (it would be so great to find art classes I could pay for with Simbi!!!). In the last three years I've had lessons in how to paint, draw, work with glass and clay, and have fine tuned my abilities for writing both prose and poetry and for graphic design, something which is the absolute priority and joy in my life. I love to take others' ideas and being them to life, to give them form and function, to make them beautiful, or ugly, or dark, or buoyant, or any emotional force they need to be. Simbi is giving me an outlet for these things, and I can't begin to explain how thankful I am for it!
