Welcome to my world

This isn't just a portfolio. It's a creative life.

I find creativity in everything I do — building community in Silicon Valley, renovating a house across the country, spinning records with my husband as Velvet Devereaux, and exploring what AI makes possible. Every corner of my life is a canvas. Come explore.

Online at the Overlook Hotel

In October 2020, with the pandemic forcing celebrations indoors, I built “Online at the Overlook Hotel” — an immersive, Shining-themed virtual Halloween party that brought nearly 100 people together across the country. Custom rooms, live programming, and a website that made a video call feel like a destination.

Velvet Devereaux, the soundtrack to a creative life

With my husband, I'm one half of Velvet Devereaux — a DJ duo spinning funk, soul, hip-hop, and Latin rhythms. From living-room sessions to packed parties, it's proof that good taste travels across genres, and the through-line that keeps the rest of the work in rhythm.

Durham Dream Home, a lived-in sanctuary

I'm turning a generic builder-grade house in Durham into a warm, lived-in sanctuary — bold color, natural materials, and rooms that reflect personality over convention. One considered project at a time, from first impressions at the entry to the smallest finishing details.

Equity Catalyst, building bridges to opportunity

Some of my most meaningful work happens in community centers and mentorship sessions, not boardrooms. As an NLC Chapter Director and CAGA mentor, I design programs and build bridges that help people who've been systematically excluded find pathways to leadership and economic opportunity.

Porch Light Studio, one designer, five perspectives

Porch Light Studio explores how one creative director can work like a full design team. Using AI, I built five designer personas — each with a distinct style, philosophy, and specialization — multiplying creative capacity without losing the human eye that makes the work matter.
