Now I work with artists, writers, and multi-passionate creatives who are deep in the mess of making something real. My focus is on creative process, story development, and sustainable practice. I also run Saint Violet, a studio for tools, workshops, and weird little resources that support creative work that doesn’t follow a formula.

I live in the Pacific Northwest with my family, surrounded by secondhand books, unfinished drafts, and two sweet cats. I’m a mother to a brave and fierce son. I make things with my hands. I collect seashells, folklore, and objects with uncertain provenance. I’m obsessed with film, mythology, orcas, crows, and whatever else my current hyperfixation happens to be.

I used to write dirty books under a pen name. I’m still interested in what pushes boundaries—what resists polish. I like stories that don’t resolve too neatly. I trust the work that makes you uncomfortable first.

There’s no tidy way to sum it up. It’s been a mix of disciplines, side roads, and unfinished things. But it all informs how I work now.
