A practicing goldsmith since I was fifteen years old, I went on to study art at SUNY New Paltz and Savannah College of Art and Design. I worked professionally as a custom goldsmith, a sculptor, a fashion designer, a writer, an art educator, UX Architect, a product developer, and a mindset coach before founding Create Potential, an education institute bringing together visionaries, founders, & artists to maximize their potential through science-backed creativity and holistic growth training.
As an artist, I have worked in and studied various creative disciplines–using them to convey my ideas and emotions. I see each as a medium for expression and often use them in combination to support my work.
My work has been showcased in Vogue, New York Fashion Week, the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, FL, and the Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA, as well as other curated exhibitions throughout the US and abroad.
I am also the mother of two neurodivergent children, with my son is also considered a genetically rare person since he has an unmatched genetic deletion and is missing 263 genes.
I believe our lives are an opportunity to learn and grow in kindness and capability so that we can help others learn and grow as well.
