Having always been a crafty maker since single digits, it all came together under the umbrella of eleven44.

Making beautiful and  practical objects that feel like they contribute valuable and meaningful qualities to life is a deep spiritual practice that gives a feeling of being in service while also satisfying the artistic urges. She is currently living in Bali, Indonesia.
