Topo Chico Mural

Topo Chico x Pure Quill Superette, 2024

Client: Topo Chico
Roll: Art Direction, Illustration

, Painting

Topo Chico reached out to me last year to create a mural for Pure Quill Superette that’s inspired by their Coffee Pulse campaign. The mural focuses on the beverage, and the cozy coffee shop esthetic of the Superette.

The mural also uses a line from the Molly Brodak poems “In the morning, before anything bad happens”: “I know there is a river somewhere, lit, fragrant, golden mist, all that.” felt like a beautiful reminder to slow down and reflect.

Diana, 2023

Client: Forward Warrior

Roll: Art Direction and Illustration



In 2023, I was one of the selected artist for Forward Warrior, an annual mural painting festival in Cabbagetown, Atlanta. This festival takes places every year and highlights up and coming artists. My mural was inspired by the roman goddess Diana. I’ve always felt a connection to this goddess and her mythology. She serves as a reminder that you have control over your actions and motivation to keep moving forward.

For Women’s History Month 2021, Big Cartel asked a few female artists to draw the a women who inspires them. I chose to illustrate the legendary and inimitable Georgia O’Keeffe. I have a portrait of Georgia O’Keeffe in my studio that I keep as a reminder of her spirit and attitude towards life, nature and art. This image was used as a social post.

Keep Moving, Stay Focused, 2021

In 2020, we saw ourselves a little lost, exhausted, and to be honest, a little scared. It was a hard year for all of us. So how could we start a new year after having spent months at home, not hugging our loved ones, and show them we care and protect them? How can we move forward? "Keep Moving, Stay Focused" was created out of conversations about these hard feelings and how we can navigate them as a community by spreading a message of hope and positivity. We are bringing this mural to Grant Park to shine a light on the ways we can move forward, together.

Role: Illustrator

You may have heard of MailChimp's Coffee Hour before. We invite creative, interesting, thought-provoking, and downright weird people to come and teach us something new. The purpose of Coffee Hour is to challenge and inspire MailChimp employees. 

The design team started making posters to annouce the speaker of the week as well as contribute to the hype. These events were the perfect place to experiment with design ideas.
