Growing up in Girl Scouts sparked my lifelong love of arts and crafts, and I’ve been creating ever since. I’m drawn to the magic of repurposing—taking an everyday object and asking, “I know what it is, but what could it be?” Thrift stores are my treasure troves of inspiration, and my work often blends playful techniques like towel and dollar‑bill origami with more intricate creations. My newest obsession is twisting wire into gemstone and shell trees, each one developing its own unique personality as it comes to life in my hands.
