hello & welcome

I believe in creating art that fosters connection and adds a dash of magic to everyday living. My work is infused with cheerful colors, endearing characters, and relatable stories.

Dear Kindred Spirit is the home of my personal line of illustrated paper goods, licensable art, and bespoke creative services. Each and every design is rooted in playful expression and thoughtful craft.

In my creative journey, I’ve had the honor of designing super secret work as an Art Director at Apple, creating editorial illustrations for The Washington Post, and freelancing for the coffee-loving folks at Fellow.

These experiences have left me with an understanding that curiosity, collaboration, and diversity are at the very heart of good design—pillars that have shaped my own creative practice.
