I am an artist and designer based in NYC but born and raised in Berkeley, California.
I am a multidisciplinary designer with fast-paced agency experience for corporate brands, as well as freelance illustration-based design for smaller clients. My personal work often focuses on transforming historical design and counter-cultural references, bringing them into my own playful, modern world.
I enjoy creating art based on television, music, and pop culture in my free time. laurelipsum was born in 2018 when I first began sharing this work online. Check out my eponymous Etsy shop where I sell prints.
I have a proclivity for collecting — plants, vinyl records, vintage art and clocks, postcards, pins, stickers, ephemera. You can find me trying to make my apartment as cozy as possible and hanging out with my cat.
