I believe that healing is the best revenge

I’m a chronically ill nonbinary queer femme artist, educator, & speaker who transforms trauma through cute & colorful art, alchemizes affirmations for survivors (I believe you), & uses aesthetics as a spell for healing.

I center radical self-love, creativity, healing, platonic intimacy & friendships, trauma recovery, community care, chronic illness & disability, & the power of aesthetics in my practice.

I strive to empower more survivors to work with aesthetics as a tool for creative expression & expansion, reclaiming our bodies & sovereignty & spaces (both physical & digital!), creative confidence, playful + powerful inner child/teen work, & healing as an iterative + nonlinear practice.

As a librarian, I work with library workers who are committed to creating cultures that center healing through radical empathy, collective care, & advocacy work. I support libraries in building holistic work cultures in which both patrons & staff with a variety of lived experiences, including (but not limited to) trauma, substance use, disability, & chronic illness, feel supported, valued, & safe to show up as their whole selves.
