I specialize in watercolor paintings, calligraphy, and line-drawn illustration, all created in-house with my own two hands to build original, cohesive designs.

I deeply value the relationships I build with my clients throughout our work together, and I take great pride in making the process easy and fun for couples. Consider me your creative director, artist-in-residence, project manager, etiquette expert, and envelope stuffer. I take on a limited number of clients so that I can be fully hands-on through each step of the process. All you have to do is sit back, and watch the paper magic unfold. 

I'm a unique blend of left- and right-brained; I thrive in balancing my creativity with organization and efficiency. (I'm an enneagram 1.) This dates back to my elementary school days, where my habit of replicating computer fonts within my notebooks was born. In high school, my art projects always involved complex math and meticulous planning. While studying supply chain management in college, I discovered calligraphy pens, and the rest is history. 

I live in Chicago (the great city in which I was born & raised) in a beautiful, Victorian-style apartment with my fiancé, Andrew. My Wicker Park studio window overlooks the park, providing plenty of natural light, organic inspiration, and above all: dog watching.
