ABOUT ME

I grew up in North Carolina and moved around a bit before settling in Portland Oregon with my sister. I recently started my own pottery studio and spend my days throwing on the wheel and glazing my wears.
I love to road bike, run, backpack and hike. I love to explore new places and find the local spots and hole-in-the wall restaurants.

PHILOSOPHY

Appreciating the beauty and diversity in the world and being there for those who are important to me.
