Artist Bio
Based in the East Bay, I am a visual artist and designer whose creative journey has always been guided by a deep love for craftsmanship and look-at-it-twice details. While I am primarily self-taught in the studio, I also hold a Master’s degree in Art Management. Studying the business side of art gave me a real appreciation for structure and organization—strengths that naturally show up in the clean, intentional way I approach my two-dimensional design projects today.
Lately, my work has been evolving from traditional roots into the world of abstract design. I find myself constantly experimenting with color theory, bold patterns, and the way simple elements can completely transform a flat canvas or screen. Whether I'm working on a new piece or sharing visual ideas with others, I’m always chasing that perfect balance of high energy and quiet order. The quiet beauty in everyday life uses clean lines and vibrant colors to evoke thoughtful reflection.

Artist Statement
My work in 2D design is all about finding the hidden rhythms and patterns in the world around us. Instead of trying to draw/paint exactly what I see, I love breaking things down to their simplest ingredients: clean shapes, repetition, and a strong sense of balance. This collection represents a fun shift for me, moving away from capturing literal objects and focusing instead on how flat shapes and smart layouts can tell a story all on their own.
At the heart of everything I make is an obsession with light and color. I love pairing vibrant, rich colors together to see how they react, push, and pull against one another. When building a piece, I treat it like a puzzle—layering shapes, playing with contrast, and shifting weights until the whole composition clicks. My goal is to create a sense of movement on a flat surface, making the eye dance from one corner to the next.
For me, this body of work is a celebration of simple visual harmony. It’s a playful playground where strict design rules meet pure intuition. Ultimately, I want these pieces to encourage people to slow down, look more closely, and find the joy and energy hidden in everyday patterns and colors.
