The projects below are a mix of prop work and food styling created for film and television.In addition to fabrication, I support creative teams through on-set art coordination and performance training in art techniques. I’ve trained actors for ceramics-based roles, provided technical guidance for art scenes, and consulted on material realism and period accuracy.

Personal Portfolio

My personal work centers around ceramics, where I’m drawn to transforming raw materials into objects that tell stories. I create anything from strange little sculptural pieces to functional wares, alongside two dimensional work which could include painting to printmaking. Some of my mediums include: acrylic, watercolor, gouache, collage, and linocut as a way of exploring ideas, emotion, and the history of me.
