I have written in many types of formats – academic, informational, and fictional.

My portfolio can be found here.
I weave tapestries and baskets made from discarded wires and often use repurposed items and upcycled textiles in my work. I also weave belts on an inkle loom, triangles on a triangle loom, and am learning some other looms.
