There’s a thing called a chrysalis, you may know it as a cocoon. It’s an in-between state, sturdy and steady as it is, content as it seems, it’s going somewhere. 

I’ll quote my therapist when I say, “Where are you going with this?”

I’ve been many things in Salt Lake City over the years, primarily a creative, occasionally a rabble-rouser, but I’ve always been a part of whatever alternative scenes Utah can muster. After moving to Utah at 14, I sought out the arts in the city, and I found the music. I started taking tickets at the door at Kilby Court when I was 16, I was then immersed in a world of creatives I knew I wanted to be a part of.

After getting an illustration degree from SLCC, many doors opened for me. From my first design job at SLUG MAG as a layout designer, to illustrating covers for Salt Lake City Weekly. I’m independent at my core, as a thinker, as an artist, as a designer. 

I bring with me the energy of a wild card, the precision of a production minded designer, and file naming conventions you can write home about. As I’ve learned and grown over the years, I’ve emerged from that chrysalis with a rock solid, trauma-aware, ethically minded core that continues to expand and evolve in order to make life better for whoever comes after me.
