My path from a small town in Indiana to the creative heart of Los Angeles,

my journey has always been fueled by imagination.

Growing up homeschooled for the majority of my childhood, I learned early on that education and play aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, they are at their most powerful when woven together. That foundational belief—that kids should be encouraged to explore, build, and learn simultaneously—has stayed with me throughout my career as a visual artist. Whether I am meticulously designing miniature sets, writing new worlds, or bringing characters to life on screen, that sense of childhood wonder is always at the core of my work.

This project started with a simple goal:

I wanted to give my nephews something special to do together over the summer. I began compiling a craft list, redesigning and recreating the hands-on projects I loved doing as a kid. What started as a summer gift for my family has grown into a space to share that same magic, creativity, and hands-on learning with yours.
