I've cut thousands of pieces out of paper. Some papercuts are only a few inches across. The largest was more than six feet wide.
If you would like to commission an original piece or a laser-cut edition of an existing design, please feel free to reach out.
Fine Lines
Around my last birthday, my social media feeds were suddenly flooded with ads for Botox. Influencer after influencer seemed to urge me, personally, to erase my wrinkles. The thing is, I really like my wrinkles. And I’ve known too many people who deserved more time to earn fine lines. People are welcome to edit their bodies however they wish, but I reject the idea that growing older is a problem to be solved. This piece, Fine Lines, came about because I want to honor time instead of resisting it.

Flora & Fauna
“Papercuts remind me of ecosystems. They are fragile and depend on thousands of tiny connections to hold together. But when treated with care, they can be preserved and enjoyed for generations. By exploring natural themes in the delicate medium of paper, I hope to highlight the stunning beauty and fragility of the natural world.”
NaNoWriMo
I had the pleasure of creating a papercut for the folks over at NaNoWriMo. It was a really fantastic project and I've loved seeing the cut reproduced on so much fun merchandise.
