I spend my days as a senior strategy program manager—turning ambiguous goals into clear roadmaps, aligning teams, and delivering complex initiatives. But I've always been someone who needs to create with my hands.
In the margins of a full life, I'm a maker still honing my craft across foam, wood, acrylics, and mixed media. I take on custom commissions through word of mouth: someone shares a theme, a color palette, or just a feeling they're chasing, and I design something that brings it to life. My process borrows from both worlds—I use the same skills that help me navigate stakeholder ambiguity at work to translate conceptual briefs into tangible pieces. AI tools and freehand sketching help me visualize, then I trace, carve, paint, and blend until the work feels right.
I'm entirely self-taught, which means I'm always learning and experimenting. Whether I'm layering colors on canvas, sculpting foam into something unexpected, or crocheting between meetings, every project teaches me something new. I'm selective about what I take on because family comes first, and making is part of who I am—not all of it. But when I commit to a piece, I bring the same discipline and vision I use to deliver programs: I listen carefully, iterate thoughtfully, and don't stop until the dream becomes real.
If you have an idea you'd like to see in the world, and our timelines align, I'd love to explore it with you.
