Some people deal with stress by running.
Others do yoga. Some eat chocolate.

I make stuff.

Stained glass, drawings, animations, and passion projects. All rooted in what matters deeply to me.
This is where I slow down, get vulnerable, experiment, and make work that doesn’t need permission.

Then I eat chocolate.

It’s called balance.

Bake Cookies,
Not Earth

Earth isn’t just our home for the holidays, it’s the only home we’ve got. But with climate change undeniably at our door, BBDOMPLS decided these Holidays asked for a different cookie decorating approach.

We created a series of 12 posters and social posts showcasing unique cookies, each representing a different sobering fact about climate change effects. 

The fun aspect of this project? I designed, baked and iced the cookies myself. And then I ate them... that was fun!

Gaynimation

Inspired by my personal necessity to communicate with friends using moving images, I realized there's a lack of artistic representation of LGBTQ-themed GIFs on social media. 

In response to that, I created an Instagram account called Gaynimation where I concept, illustrate, and create short animations that explore all things LGBTQ+.

Open
Heart

A stained glass series inspired by my mom’s chronic cardiac condition.

The first panel reflects her open heart surgery scar. A vertical cut that splits the body, and life, into before and after.

Three more panels are in progress. This work explores fragility, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to heal.

Drawings For
Goods

In April of 2020 I posted on my IG Stories that I'd draw my friends' pets in exchange for a donation to support health care professionals working in NYC. My friends, and their friends, and their friends' friends jumped at the idea. 

Dozens of illustrations later, our collective donations were turned into care packages for nurses across multiple NYC Hospitals.

Giphy
Gifs

One of the best websites in the world - if you ask me - invited me to feature 

my gifs under their Selected Artists category.
Makin' mom proud one GIF at a time!

Don't call me
a Girl

For International Women's Day, we created and designed an internal campaign based on data research done at 22squared. First, we created a website that posed a simple question to all of our female employees:

What's the one thing you hate being called at work?
(All answers were anonymous).

Using the data from their answers, we created a series of posters meant to make every 22squared employee stop and think about the words they've often used around the workplace when speaking to - or about - women. 

We used the data collected from the website to create posters and short animations that we shared with all of 22's employees, allowing them to participate in the idea and share the sentiment that spoke to them the most on their social channels.
