As a ceramicist, illustrator, and writer, my goal is human connection. I value the bond people make with everyday functional objects and create each piece of my handmade pottery with the intention that it will go through heavy, loving use. I envision that my drawings will go on the office wall as motivation or on your water bottle to brighten a chore. My romance writing and comics are intended to affirm the parts of ourselves we often feel most insecure about, and to talk about the beauty of this one and precious life.

I founded Bus 20 in 2020 with the goal of becoming a full-time creative, and every day I feel so grateful for the life I get to lead, drawing and making, bringing art to underserved communities in Portland, and sharing what I'm working on with the world. While you're here, I hope you find something that brings you joy, reawakens your sense of whimsy, and helps you feel connected to yourself and your community.
