MEET THE ARTIST

For most of my life, art has been an outlet for expression and a way to navigate the emotional intensity that can come with trauma and mental health challenges.

After nearly a decade working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer with agencies, businesses, and creatives, my path shifted when I was recently diagnosed with an incurable chronic illness. It led me to slow down and reconsider my direction - guiding me to align my work more intentionally with my health and values.

As my work evolved, I was drawn more deeply to expressive arts and art therapy - approaches centered on process, healing, and emotional exploration. Alongside ongoing treatment and wellness practices, these tools have helped me better manage my symptoms and support my quality of life.

Through Art for Emotion, I bring these experiences together by offering illustration and design services for the mental health and wellness space, as well as sharing reflections, creative practices, and supportive resources. My goal is to help others use art as a way to navigate difficult experiences, reconnect with themselves, and create space for healing.
