Born and raised in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I grew up inspired by my parents and community, participating in extreme sports. My father was a big influence as a member of the Jackson Hole Air Force, a ski collective, who continues to live on as a local legend. This led to passion and respect for the outdoors that has shaped my aesthetic and mindset as both a person and designer.
​
I began my journey to becoming a designer at a young age with my love for drawing. This has always been a way for my mind to process, observe, and create. It has become a refined tool that contributes to my exploration in pushing boundaries between function and aesthetic. This fascination has led me to find passion in many domains, from graphic design, fine arts, and ultimately, apparel design.
