I’ve been creating since childhood, back when crayons, scissors, and glue felt like tools for making my own little world. Shows like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers shaped my early imagination, opening me to different cultures, perspectives, and a sense of curiosity that never really left. My creative path has wandered through many forms. I started in film photography, stepped away for years, then resurfaced through small handmade crafts before finding collage. Both traditional and digital collage feel natural to me. I love gathering existing images, choosing the pieces that resonate, and letting them arrange themselves into something new. My process is instinctive and unforced; music often sparks the flow.
