About the artist

Born and raised in the Northern Virginia suburbs of DC, I started live sketching in 2018. Specializing in lively marker and hand-drawn digital fashion portraits, I’ve sketched at weddings, social events, and corporate/brand activations across the DMV; turning fleeting moments into charming, frame-ready keepsakes. My style is quick, expressive, and fun; flattering likenesses with a fashion twist and making sure to capture all those special outfit details. I travel throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, and beyond for events.

I love to travel! However, locations outside of the DMV, NYC, and the city of Boston will have higher rates.

Note to planners:

I love partnering with wedding and event planners to create an elevated, interactive guest experience that complements your vision, delights your clients, and integrates seamlessly into the event timeline.
