HI THERE

Welcome to Basecamp

where I help purpose-driven brands and creative explorers turn ideas into visual narratives - rooted in intention, creativity, and adventure.

Thanks for visiting this little creative corner! A bit about me -

Years ago while living abroad in Southeast Asia, I found a creative outlet in illustration that blended my love of art & cultures.

Today, my heart is to create visual adventures that feel like a morning abroad.

I love creating in themes of travel, culture, humanitarian efforts, and environmental sustainability!

When I'm not illustrating, you'll find me traveling, cooking international foods, hiking, and brewing specialty coffee.

Have a creative project in mind you need a visual partner to bring to life? Let's grab virtual coffee and chat!

Project Spotlight: Chinese Dumpling Recipe Card

When I got this commission request, I was reminded of the ways art can show up intentionally in our lives- in an everyday task like cooking. The couple that commissioned the project used to live in China, and wanted to share an illustrated recipe of their favorite East Asian dish with family and friends

The Making of the Safari Collection

I’d never washed so much dust off my Chacos before my first trip overseas to Zambia. That's what inspired this collection featuring baobab trees, giraffes, and African mudcloth.
