chicago-born + rooted in madrid, i received a phd in psychology from the university of chicago and spent years in the design world working at the intersection of people, brands, and products. my background in language and behavior provides a unique window into the relationships between humans, objects, and spaces, and is a critical frame of reference for my work.

currently based outside chicago, i have shown my work nationally + abroad with saatchi's the other art fair, rostrum | 312, the martin, atelier, west end gallery, madewell, the art center highland park, peninsula art center, artsugar, and woman made gallery, and received a minted independent artist day jury prize award.
