“My work lives at the intersection of art and interaction - with immersive installations, pop-up experiences, and joyful collaborations that invite people to connect.”

“My independent projects are rooted in a simple but powerful mission to bring people unexpected joy!”

I love teaching, and delight in helping others build practical, beautiful skills - whether it's knitting your first scarf, adding a piece to your own wardrobe, or
sewing a stylish, high-quality bag from scratch.

My workshops are welcoming, empowering, and filled with good energy

I'm a self-taught artist - a creative force, bringing my playful, hands-on approach to a wide range of projects. My passions are knitting, sewing, and all things textiles.

From crafting whimsical costumes for the iconic NYC Halloween Parade to creating props and pieces for film, television, and music videos. I love bringing ideas to life.

Something else about me

I love to create joy-bombs, unusual art and unexpected delight ✨ It seems like every time I put something fun into the world, someone reaches outand asks for more!

You can find some of the weird designs and collaborations I've released into the wild over the years, over at my bananastandoriginals portfolio.

Looking for someone to build that wild thing you’ve been dreaming of? Lets chat!

Thanks - and see you soon!
