I’m a designer, illustrator, and travel enthusiast—born and raised in Elko, Nevada. Like many small-town kids, I once dreamed of leaving for something bigger.

As the years went on, I realized how much this place—the people, the landscape, the quirks—shaped who I am. What once felt like a town I was eager to grow out of has become a source of deep pride and inspiration.

I hold a BFA in Graphic Design and work full-time at an advertising agency. When I’m not at my desk, I’m usually outside with my two Border Collies, hiking, strolling through the local farmers markets, or planning my next adventure. Travel has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve found so much inspiration in the little treasures and souvenirs I’ve collected along the way.

The blend of nostalgia for home and a love for meaningful design is what sparked this collection—an effort to create keepsakes that highlight the unique charm of Elko. Every piece is designed with intention to celebrate the beauty, grit, and character of the town I once wanted to leave, but now feel lucky to call home.
