I have been working in the professional Design and Product Development field since 2011. I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago, with a focus in fashion-related design and photography. My designs have been included in both print and digital publications, most notably features in Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Marie Claire, Accessory and Esquire magazines. My handmade pieces are retailed in luxury boutiques and hotels internationally, most notably multiple Four Seasons properties. I’m the owner of Quiet Lion Creations, an award-winning DIY jewelry blog and brand specializing in craft tutorials and handmade jewelry and accessories. I’d categorize my personal style as bohemian with an edge, and think combat boots can go with basically any outfit. I love designing while watching my favorite Chicago sports teams- go Blackhawks and Cubs!
