Summary

A tried and true born into art and all kinds of art kid, I've been performing and creating for most of my life and professionally for over 13 years. From singing in folk bands and screen printing for a small business in Northern California to international modeling commercially and figure modeling for art classes and private painters in Australia. And now singing and dancing in an avant garde gothic witch pop opera band called Sin&Seraphim, stilt-walking or roaming about in costumes for corporate and private party settings and working on my own business of sustainable one of kind stuffed aliens. I enjoy all types of design work and am comfortable in large venue settings, as well as costume creation and design. I am also a fantastic assistant to whatever needs assisting! I love helping with set up and take down of events and am very comfortable helping with creative direction of venue design or set design, costumes, makeup, etc. There are many more forms of expression I would still like to embody moving forward and am looking forward to working with likeminded individuals.
