ABOUT ME
I'm interested in how cities, from their streets, public spaces, buildings, and transit, can be designed by and for people. I love learning about how people make things happen in cities--how trash is picked up and where it goes, what maps can tell us about ourselves, how unused space is turned into parks, how the guys who operate 24-hour halal carts are the city's unsung heroes...
Boston-bred and a New York City transplant, I express my love for cities in my sketches of urban scenes using watercolor and ink. My clients have included Greystar Apartments and Oxbridge Academic Programs, and my artwork has been recognized on Instagram by Central Park, Times Square, Time Out New York, Comedy Central's Broad City, and the New York Yankees.

I am a proud Barnard College graduate, where I majored Urban Studies. When I'm not sketching, I can be found biking, identifying street trees, and trying to find the perfect dumplings in NYC.
