“Outside of design, I’m usually doing something hands-on, whether it’s running cardio at the gym, grilling a mean steak, tending to my jungle of houseplants, or making friendship bracelets just for the fun of it. I also love thrifting and hunting for weird little treasures that spark joy (and usually end up inspiring something in my art).

I take on commission pieces for friends and family in my free time—usually pet portraits or off-the-wall character ideas. I’ve traveled to places like Japan and Costa Rica, but I still haven’t made it to New York or California, somehow. And just so we’re clear: I’m a terrible baker. Like, impressively bad. I keep trying though!

My life wouldn’t be the same without my pets, my fiancé, and my close circle of friends and family—they make everything richer, funnier, and more meaningful. I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I grew up with a house full of them, and I’ve been passionate about rescuing and adopting for as long as I can remember—in my childhood I even adopted a goat in secret to save him from a meat farm. That kind of heart-first chaos pretty much sums up the spirit behind Twisted Tabby Designs—where the weird, the warm, and the wildly personal all come together.”
