I was born in New York City and always used art as a form of communication from a young age.
I received both my B.F.A. in Illustration in 2017 and my B.F.A. in Toy Design in 2021 from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
My love for creating fun characters, exploring new ideas and developing inspiring toys for children are why I decided to become a toy designer. Creating characters with full consideration of their backgrounds and the world they live in is very important in my work. I want the toys I design to support every child to express themselves, build confidence and to find their own unique voices.
