About Me

Creative Strategist | Art Director | Brand Director | Expressive Arts Facilitator
 

Art was my first love, but after being teased about one of my art pieces at a young age, I dropped the pencil—my inner critic took over, and didn’t pick it up again for years. 

​

Still, the spark never fully left. I found new tools—my computer and Adobe software—and began creating in a different way. That path led to a 20+ year career in advertising and corporate marketing, helping Fortune 500 brands bring big ideas to life. I became known as the calm in the storm—leading teams through high-pressure projects with clarity, vision, and heart.

 

But when a family crisis turned life upside down, it was art that saved me. Through caregiving, I rediscovered creativity not as a profession, but as a path to healing.

Now, I guide others to do the same—offering soulful workshops, creative wellness experiences, and guided meditations to help people find their way back to their creative center, inner spark, and authentic self-expression.

 

This work isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am.
If you’re feeling disconnected, blocked, burned out, or just ready to rediscover your creative voice, I’m here to help you find your way back—through the power of art, mindfulness, and soul-aligned expression.
