A Creative Asset

I am a reflective creator and collaborator, passionate about bringing collective visions to life through diverse forms of media. My work supports community organizations engaged in regenerative and intentional practices, fostering meaningful connections, belonging, and resilience.

I craft innovative marketing strategies that strengthen internal relationships and drive collective goals. By focusing on collaboration and efficiency, I deliver creative solutions that meet tight deadlines while maintaining a high standard of quality and impact.

Through purposeful artistry—such as New SUM, wearable pieces, and multimedia works—I explore new ways to connect, engage, and envision thriving communities.

Drawing from a rich background in marketing and design, I weave storytelling, strategy, and creativity into impactful projects that align with shared values and inspire collective action.

Currently Focused On

This event came together organically, pun intended.

This is the first annual Green Space Garden Mixer, a celebration and meet-up for area Community Garden Managers and School Garden Managers, with representation from the Boise School District Green Teams and Sustainability Clubs, Master Gardeners, community stakeholders, and supporting organizations. This gathering offers a unique opportunity for garden managers to connect, share stories, and collaborate. Together, we’re cultivating not only access to nutrient-dense foods but also vibrant green spaces that nurture social connection, support mental health, enhance biodiversity, and encourage generational recognition and strength.

How this came about:

I co-founded the grassroots organization, the Treasure Valley Community Gardens Cooperative (TVCGCoop), in 2020. We had the two-fold mission of increasing food security and fostering community connections. As with many volunteer efforts in 2020-2022, there was a great deal of momentum and community participation, and the outcomes were restorative! I have continued doing what I can to keep the network going, while working as the Marketing Manager for Snake River Seed Cooperative, an organization with a very aligned mission and vision. Over these years I’ve responded to, and acted upon, as many suggestions from stakeholders and participating gardens as possible. This gathering will be a great circle-up, to celebrate what we’ve accomplished, tend to the seeds we’ve sown, the network we have, while growing community connections into this gardening season!
