the intro.
I was a mover before I was a maker. A kid who lived in motion - soccer, roller skating, ice skating, swimming, volleyball, basketball. If it involved wheels, water, or running fast, I was in.
I’m a proud feminist. I’ve always believed girls deserve the same space, the same voice, the same fire.
I identify as queer, neurodivergent, and plus size - and I stopped apologizing for any of it a long time ago.
Those identities shape the way I see the world, create, and the way I hold space for others.

the injury years.

Between ages five and eight, I had two concussions and a fractured back - all from school.
I had to sit out for years.
No running.
No skating.
No sports.
That’s when art found me. Or maybe I found myself.
When my body had to be still, my hands learned to move differently - thread, yarn, fabric, color, texture, pencils, paint.
That pause shaped everything.
the covid era.
I was in middle school during COVID - the years when everything felt upside down, sideways, and too quiet.
So my mom got permission to work remotely, and we traveled the U.S. together.
Old places.
Old friends.
New air.
New life.
That's when I learned how to navigate the world on my own terms. Slowly. Intentionally. Creatively.

the work - what I make (and why).

I’m a textile artist who unravels discarded sweaters, cleans the yarn, and turns waste into something beautiful and affordable.
I believe everything deserves a second life - materials, clothing, and people who’ve been told they don’t fit.
I make clothing and accessories for plus‑size humans and big dogs because the world doesn’t make enough things for either of us.
I build demo art for every workshop we run. I design props for our sessions.
I work with disadvantaged youth. I partner with organizations I believe in.
the fashion era - plus size bodies deserve better.
I make fashion for plus‑size people because the industry still doesn’t.
Not enough options.
Not enough creativity.
Not enough respect.
And too expensive.
Bodies aren’t the problem.
The industry is.
So I design clothes that feel good, move well, and don’t apologize for existing.

the horror recreations era.

I love horror - not the cheap jump‑scare kind, but the kind that crawls under your skin and stays there.
I believe everything deserves a second life - materials, clothing, and people who’ve been told they don’t fit.
Scream is my comfort movie.
Matthew Lillard - the best.
Found‑footage horrors?
Yes.
Especially the ones filmed on a computer - Unfriended, Host, anything that feels too real, too close, too possible.
I grew up on R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps - the first books I ever consumed in hours, devouring monsters like they were oxygen.
I love possession films, psychological thrillers, the Conjuring universe, IT, mascot horror, anything that blurs the line between “play” and “panic.”
I’m teaching myself how to build horror recreations - film props, game props, practical effects, the kind of pieces that make you look twice and then wish you hadn’t.
the dog threads era.
I make hats, sweaters, and accessories for big dogs - because small dogs get all the cute stuff and big dogs deserve to look fabulous too.
No hate to the little guys - I custom make awesome threads for them, too. But I do specialize in custom threads for dogs 50+ lbs.
Bones-Fish approves.

the workplace - holding space for humans.

I've held team-building experiences for:
Microsoft
Amazon
Boeing
Embassy Suites
SanMar
Avalara
Paycom
Bellevue School District
Kirkland School District
and more.
Executives, teachers, engineers, admins, teenagers, and toddlers all do the same thing here: they exhale, soften, laugh.
I love the laughter.
the blog - all strings attached.
My blog is where I talk about the things that matter to me - textile art, sustainable fashion, body positivity, queer identity, neurodivergent life, youth creativity, horror props, and whatever else is pulling at me that week.
Nothing is off limits. Everything is connected.
Coming soon!
my art + commissions.
I'm a Reconstructionist by nature and a Fabricationist by range.
I make things every day - with yarn, fabric, cardboard, foam, wire, clay, paper, paint, scraps, whatever I can get my hands on. If the world throws it away, I’ll probably turn it into something worth keeping.
I crochet. I draw in pencil. I build props - tiny ones, giant ones, horror ones, mascot ones - the kind of pieces people swear must’ve come from a movie set. I make piñatas that look alive. I can replicate almost anything if you give me a reference photo and a little time.
I bake, too. Gluten-free food so good you forget it's gluten-free.
Every dollar from my work supports youth programs, community partnerships, donated workshops, and second-life materials.
