Throughout my life, I always enjoyed the process of creating beautiful things from my own hands. Drawing and doodling for me has always been a productive hobby, as I would sit down after school and draw the characters I watched on television. Art was always around me and encouraged, as my mother, a muralist, and grandmother, a painter, introduced me to new mediums, projects, and techniques to help explore my passion.

​

Growing up in the outer suburbs of Chicago, I studied the art of classical ballet under various instructors from prestigious ballet companies, such as New York City Ballet,  San Francisco Ballet, Odessa Government Theatre, and the Joffery Ballet in Chicago. In high school, I developed a love for the digital arts and illustration. This is when I started to experiment combining two familiar art forms I knew, expressive movement and digital media, which led me to pursue a degree in Visual Effects at the Savannah College of Art and Design, with a minor in 3D Animation.

My journey has brought me to work with Microsoft's Turn 10 Studios, out in beautiful Redmond, WA. I aim to connect stories, wow the crowd, and explore technical creation through my work as a Look Development Artist.
