I spend every day making something, whether that’s simply my morning cortado, a new brand, a new font, or some other random side project - creating is my second nature.

In all of the worlds I’ve created in real life and on the web, I hope it sparks in you meaning, joy, and wonder in all that is around us.

And if you’re curious to know more, I grew up in Albuquerque and Dallas. My original career was in animation before I used my business administration degree from UTD to branch on out on my own and start freelance designing. That led me to Austin where I launched Oava.

In 2021 I made my first font and it spurred an obsession with the artistry and puzzle-solving that comes with designing type faces. You can find more via my foundry, Heatwave.

My little companion is Ginger, a mini aussie - a double merle (or tweed merle) with the cutest curly hair. She’s spunky and loves to be outside somehow even more than I do.

Often I’m outdoors with Ginger and my fiance, along with his dog, Lily. The four of us endlessly love good food, fresh air, and dreaming up new businesses to start.
