A Little About Me
A Little About Me
Welcome to My World of Creation!
Hi, I’m Tea — a dog mom, radio host, and lifelong artist with a love for mixing mediums and making beautiful messes.
My creative journey began with a box of crayons, a stack of office supplies, and an imagination that wouldn’t quit. I was the kid turning chicken pox quarantine into an art residency. Give me a Spirograph, some Shrinky Dinks, a bit of silly putty, and a comic book — and I was off building entire worlds.
I grew up wandering the halls of the Art Institute of Chicago, wide-eyed and certain that someday, I’d be one of those artists. And now? I’m living that dream — crafting designs, photos, zines, and stories that are as heartfelt as they are playful.
That same curiosity and joy still fuel everything I do — whether I’m sketching a new logo, building a whimsical website, or turning a forgotten memory into a mixtape. My goal is simple:
To create something meaningful, memorable, and uniquely YOU.
A Lifelong Love for Creativity
This isn’t just what I do — it’s how I see the world.
My passion for art has never wavered, even through life’s twists, turns, and tangled threads. For me, creativity isn’t just a career — it’s a compass. A comfort. A way through.
Over the years, I’ve seen the healing power of art and design — how a handmade object can carry memory, how color and layout can shift a mood, and how telling a story visually can unlock something deeper. That’s the heartbeat behind my work.
This journey has opened doors to incredible opportunities and collaborations across a wide spectrum of creative fields. My projects have included:
-
🎨 Brand Identity, Strategy, and Photography
-
🌐 Web & UX Design
-
🎵 Album Art & Cover Design
-
📜 Event Posters & Papercraft
-
💍 Wedding Invitations & Event Decor
-
🎭 Set Design & Theatrical Builds
-
🖍 Children’s Art Classes
-
🏥 Medical Illustration & Design for Healing Spaces
…and plenty of wild, whimsical ventures in between — from shadowy musicals to shrinky dink prototypes to sublimated mugs that tell a story.
Whatever the project, I bring a thoughtful, soulful, and highly personalized approach to every single piece.
Because in the end, it’s not just about design — it’s about storytelling.
And my job is to help bring your story to life.
P.S. I believe in Bigfoot, shrinky dink alchemy, and the healing power of a well-designed mixtape. If you do too — we’ll get along just fine.
Let’s Make Some Magic!
I’ve worked across so many mediums and industries, I’ve honestly lost count. From punk show posters to healthcare spaces, from weddings to weird mixtapes — I’ve dabbled, deep-dived, and designed my way through it all.
But here’s the good news:
All that creative chaos? It means I bring a whole lot of skill, heart, and flexibility to the table.
Whether you’re looking for something bold, whimsical, elegant, raw, or completely off-the-wall, I’m here to help you bring your vision to life — and make sure it feels like yours from start to finish.
So…
Got a wild idea? A story to tell?
Let’s team up. Let’s build it.
Let’s make some damn magic.
Say Goodbye to Boring Designs!
Tired of bland, beige, uninspired visuals?
Yeah — me too.
Lucky for you, you’ve found someone who’s allergic to boring. With years of experience across graphic design, print media, medical illustration, window displays, merchandising, papercraft, branding, and more (seriously, the list goes on), I’ve tackled just about every creative challenge you can imagine — and then some.
My story has taken plenty of twists and turns, and I’ve reinvented myself more times than Madonna. (Okay… maybe not that many times. But close.) From medicine to mixtapes, weddings to weird radio, I’ve worn a lot of hats — and every single one’s covered in glitter.
That’s the thing about being a creative shapeshifter:
You learn to show up with curiosity, skill, and a sense of play — no matter the medium.
Hey There, Curious Cat!

You can also visit [Eclectic Wonderland] and a few other portals where I design every single piece of artwork — from headers to show promos, week after week, track by track.
[Click Here To Be Transported To My Creative Universes] — a collection of the web projects I’ve built, co-built, or enchanted with design spells. Each one has its own tone, mood, and magic.
Creativity never sleeps — and neither does my ever-expanding archive of designs, stories, zines, and sonic ephemera. You’ll also find links to my other websites and blog pages if you want to keep wandering.
Always Learning, Always Creating
Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into digital media — taking fresh courses, sharpening my freelance skills, and exploring new ways to bring bold ideas to life. Creativity is a lifelong journey, and I’m always evolving right along with it.
I’m currently building a vibrant new website to showcase my art and offerings — but if you’re vibing with this site and its quirky, colorful aesthetic… surprise! You’re already looking at some of my work.
In the meantime, I’m wide open for freelance collaborations — offering high-quality, heart-centered designs at a fair price. Whether you’ve got a crystal-clear vision or just a flicker of an idea, I’ll meet you where you are and help shape something truly you.
Let’s make something amazing together.
