Hi there!  I was born in Edmonton, but have moved around enough that I have had many additional places to call home.  One of the consistent themes wherever I lived was crafts.  Whether it was bathtub boats out of styrofoam meat trays, hand-sewn drawstring bags for birthday party favours, or construction paper princess hats, I was always working on a project.  More recently, I decided to pursue this interest further by studying in the Honours Bachelor of Craft and Design program as a Furniture major at Sheridan College.    

Although wood is a material which has always been dear to me, I have also enjoyed working with textiles, ceramics, and glass, both in and out of the Craft and Design program.  Whatever the material, I especially love using scraps and offcuts as a way to counteract our culture of waste and explore sustainability in tangible ways. 

There are just a few more important things to know about me:

• I am most definitely a cat person.

• Peanut butter and lemon are two of my favourite flavours (but not together). 

• I love all the colours, but green is my favourite.
