About the Artist

I am a multidisciplinary artist specializing in upcycled clothing design, sonic curation, and visual arts (physical and digital)

As an upcycled clothing designer:
My mission is to reduce fashion waste in our communities while encouraging people to dress uniquely and shop sustainably. Everything I make is made from secondhand materials and is completely 1 of 1. I have a vast array of ready-to-wear upcycled garments spanning multiple collections and years! I do custom orders, crew outfits, alterations, and tailoring. I also offer upcycling lessons! My brand is big on inclusivity: all sizes, all gender and sexuality expressions, all nationalities and skin tones welcome, please :)

As a musician, DJ, and choreographer, my goal is to foster connection between a person's mind and their body. Music and dance can communicate feelings and ideas too complex for the english language alone. Its power to connect and express is endless! I was classically trained as a trombonist and brass player in my youth and I have also studied piano all my life. So I'm heavily inspired by my classical, wind band, symphonic, and jazz roots.

My DJ moniker is "blaspheme" a not-so-subtle nod to the discourse surrounding the spiritual significance of music in modern human history. Freedom to move is always encouraged. I like to play all genres, but mainly high-energy House, EDM, Funk, Bounce, and Hip-Hop. I also enjoy curating sounds for chill settings: jazz, classical, ambient piano music, or smooth hip-hop. Open to work at coffee shops, gyms, yoga studios, house parties, bars, clubs, and festivals!
Are you throwing a party and need a high-energy DJ? Are you a performer who needs a premade mix? Or are you a yoga or fitness instructor who wants to feature live music during a class? Contact me :)

My visual arts design explores language and how we communicate with ourselves and others. Not through spoken or written language, but by other artistic and visual means. What would my own language look like? What would yours look like? I'm big on encouraging folks to create their own visual art, whether that be photography, doodling, drawing, painting, etc. It's an incredible tool of self-discovery. And the best way to say something you never have or could before. I like to work in multiple mediums, both physical and digital. I paint, draw, collage, and tattoo. As well as take photos and create graphics, fliers, and album covers.
