She started her career in 2005 as a Junior Art Director at Leo Burnett, Chicago, and has since worked at The Vidal Partnership, MRM Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi NY, and JWT NY.

On an artistic level, her work style is inspired by nature, advertising art, and stand-up comedy, and repurposed with the goal of communicating the essence of different personalities. She maintains the iconic nature of the work and removes the environment, the background, and the narrative to concentrate on the portraiture. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
