I’ve been an artist my entire life, but I’ve always cared more about how something is built than just what it looks like. I started in graphic design, which shaped the way I approach my work—composition first, everything else second. Tattooing became the perfect fit because it demands both creativity and structure, and challenges me to create work that not only looks strong, but lasts.

I began my apprenticeship in Laramie, Wyoming, and later found my footing at Medicine Man Tattoo, where I built consistency, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to design tattoos that hold up over time—both visually and structurally on the body. I specialize in Black & Grey, Illustrative Realism, Script, and Neo-Traditional, with a focus on strong shapes, clear contrast, and pieces that flow naturally and read well from a distance.

To me, tattooing is a form of translation. Clients come in with an idea, a feeling, or sometimes something that doesn’t fully exist yet—and it’s my job to turn that into something real that works. That process is part problem-solving, part instinct, and part experience, and it’s what keeps me invested in every piece I create.

I’m especially drawn to dynamic, story-driven designs—animals in motion, bold compositions, and concepts with an unexpected edge. I enjoy building tattoos that feel alive, balanced, and intentional, while still having a bit of bite to them.

I take a collaborative but structured approach with my clients. I’ll guide you through placement, scale, and design decisions so you understand not just what looks good, but why it works. I strongly prefer custom, hand-drawn designs, and I’m intentional about keeping my work original and built from the ground up.

While tattooing is my profession, I don’t treat it like something routine. I understand that for some people this might be a spontaneous decision, and for others it carries deep personal meaning—but either way, every client who sits in my chair is taken seriously. What I do has the potential to impact how someone feels about themselves or their story, and I approach that responsibility with focus, respect, and full attention every time.

Outside of tattooing, I enjoy being outdoors—especially paddle-boarding—or finding time to reset away from the studio with my 2 cats!

My ideal project is a large-scale piece where a client brings me an animal and a personal story, and I’m able to translate both into something cohesive, dynamic, and lasting.

If you’re getting your first tattoo, find an artist whose work you genuinely connect with—not just someone who can replicate an image. The best tattoos come from trust, collaboration, and strong design, and should always be built for the person wearing them.
