Hello

I’m a CMO, but also a painter, a sewist, a gardener, and a mother. I’ve also been an associate producer at a television network, an instructor of design history, an archival assistant at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas and a research assistant at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

I have an art degree from UC Berkeley and a MA in Design History from the Royal College of Art in the UK. I received my Ph.D. in American Studies at UT in 2013. My research was on design history, material culture, and the cultural history of organized interiors.
