I’m an artist and designer living in Santa Cruz, California. For as long as I can remember, I’ve explored creativity through many forms—assemblage, printmaking, painting, collage, and most recently, surface pattern design. Each piece, whether carved, painted, or digital, is a way of translating curiosity and emotion into color, texture, and story.

My design studio, Hearts Dream Design, grew out of this lifelong practice—a space where the fine art and pattern sides of my work meet and inspire each other. Through it, I create art that’s bold, layered, and a little bit soulful, blending hand-crafted texture with digital exploration.

This site shares my more personal, fine-art journey—the roots that nourish my design work. It’s a collection of pieces made with love, experimentation, and an open heart. I hope you find something here that moves you, sparks a thought, or makes your heart sing.
