Once upon a time, in the heart of the Deep South, I spent my college career as a student by day and a tattoo artist by night before graduating from the University of Alabama magna cum laude with a major in International Relations and a double minor in Russian and Psychology. Afterward, I transitioned to Seattle and dedicated myself exclusively to photography and retouching for over a decade. I've since relocated to the mountains of Asheville, NC as of 2021 after releasing a gaming app I developed based off of my illustrations of Zelda, my Shiba Inu. I still offer remote retouching services but am primarily focusing my time as a bead-weaving artist supplying handmade jewelry to local boutiques and galleries of western North Carolina.
