I grew up in the Ojai Valley and have been creating in various ways since I was a kid. I started drawing under the guidance of a local artist named Sharon Butler, and would eventually assist her a bit with her own students as I got older. I love games of any and every variety, and met my husband while we were playing World of Warcraft back in the day. Now we spend our times in games like Dark Souls, Persona, and The Witcher. We have two cats, and spend our down time watching Game of Thrones, The Expanse, and Deadliest Catch.

I spent a long time working retail, and even though I had some creative outlets for my work, it wasn't quite scratching my itch. Through the support of my husband and our families, I returned to school at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and got my degree there in Game Design.
