In 2007, I launched Left Brain Right Brain Design. I focused on designing web sites, marketing collateral and branding for businesses in the creative industry including Wade Wilson Art, Rottet Studio and individual artists such as McKay Otto, Mark Flood and more.
In 2008, inspired by the economic downturn in the country, I launched the tongue-in-cheek Keep Houston Rich. As my love letter to the city I grew up in, I curated videos that highlight the diversity of Houstonians. In 2011, the site won an inaugural Houston Press Web Award for Best Use of Video.
I also followed my passion for interior design by writing articles about my life at Isabella Court, being a finalist on Apartment Therapy’s Small Cool Places Contest two years in a row and working on private homes.
In 2008, I also began making terrariums and received artistic acclaim for my work culminating in several art exhibitions including at Lawndale Art Center’s Big Show, BHLDN, Art Palace and more.
In the following years, I have used my design skills for varying projects in the real estate industry including staging, decorating and renovating homes. As of the pandemic, I have focused on developing my skills as paintor.
