I have been making art ever since I can remember. I did my first handpoked tattoos in high school (circa 2008) and re-visited the practice in 2019 (with a lot more life experience and intention this time around!). I’ve been tattooing full time for four years and currently work in a private studio (Twinkle Ranch) with my sweet friend Jenna.

Before tattooing, I worked in the service industry for 5 years and managed eviction prevention & affordable housing programs for 8 years. I’m grateful to have more time and energy for creative work now, while also having more autonomy to work on community projects that seek to build a more just, liberated world for all. Toward that end, I serve on the core team Festival Beach Food Forest- an edible, permaculture forest garden right in the middle of Austin that is fenceless & open to all, all the time.

Outside of tattooing, I like to dabble in other crafty hobbies— most recently I’ve been enjoying zine-making, printmaking, and ceramics. I also love gardening, birdwatching, backpacking, looking at stuff in the yard, immersing in bodies of water, lizarding in the sun, seeing music, and communing with my buddies.

I look forward to continuing to improve my practice both technically and in the experience you have in our space. I treasure the time spent with each of you and bringing each piece to life on your skin!

LOVE Y’ALL, HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON~
