​
Daughter of an Air Force fighter jet pilot and professional ballet dancer
A foundation rooted in the arts, world creating, air shows and adventure. An amazing upbringing with artists/performers, my Mom ran a ballet company and the annual recital prep planted the many seeds needed for my work. Production chaos, deadlines and being surrounded by lots of beautiful stuff - it's second nature to me.
