Meet the Creator

I was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado where I was proudly raised by a loving mother who was a prominent first grade teacher and an exceptional role model.

I'm a professional toy designer and indie author/illustrator. In fact, I graduated from Otis Collage of Art and Design where I earned a BFA in Toy Design with honors.

My experience includes interning at Hasbro Studios in Burbank, CA, various freelancing opportunities, and affiliations with Mattel, Jazwares, and other notable toy companies.

With my toy experience, I decided to create a book of characters that expressed various passions of mine: animals, design aesthetics, color, rhyming, picture books, and so much more. After five years of in-depth research, countless hours of illustrations, and strategic planning, Greetings from the Beanibeings made its debut in 2025—cementing my status as a self-published author/illustrator. From the book, I was able to convert 2D into 3D by recreating the characters as dynamic plush toys that challenge the status quo.

With my business, I hope to bring forth imaginative designs, worlds, and products that the masses would love. The origin of my book and characters began with the resolution of creating something that I would undoubtably love for myself, even at the risk of bucking industry standards and conventional wisdom. I knew that if I poured my everything into this piece in a way that would make me smile at the end of the day, while encouraging goosebumps and shivers of joy, then indeed, it would be a worthwhile journey and a tremendous final product. So far, the risk has paid off beyond my wildest dreams. And to all of you, I thank you!
