Welcome! I’m a self-taught knitter and potter from Illinois who was transplanted in the enchanting desert of Arizona. I started knitting as a way to keep sane during college and grad school. I come from a very artistically-inclined family and my grandma handed down quite a few of the tricks and techniques I use regularly in my work. After I moved to Arizona, a friend introduced me to pottery and now you can find me occasionally as a teacher at Pip Coffee & Clay in Phoenix!

When I’m not elbows deep in clay or knitting, you can find me enjoying the amazing outdoor scenery that Arizona has in abundance. I love to be outside, whether it’s scouting for reptiles, hiking, biking, or camping! After years of studying and enjoying the outdoors, I’ve been lucky to have many intimate experiences with so many beautiful colors. It’s been my goal to incorporate those colors into my knits and ceramics since they have brought me such joy.

Eventually, I had created enough knits and mugs that I had too many to even give as gifts. Apparently, only so many mugs will fit in my cabinets. So this is my place to offer them to you. I know how valuable that perfect, cozy hat and hot cocoa mug are when it gets chilly out, whether it’s a Midwest winter or a cool desert night. I hope I can share some happiness with you through my crafts!
