BLKHAPPY is a project that I started in Nov 2021, I wanted to create a space that supported + connected artists to each other as well as provided creative accessibility to artists of all levels.
In addition to leading direction on all of our services, I am currently one of the primary contributors to our blog! Please see the variety of pieces I have written for the platform so far below!

On Nov 11 2022, “Soft Noise” opened at The Plan in Chicago. Curated by Chris Reeves and Aaron Walker, “Soft Noise” includes work by artists Betsy Odom, Eileen Mueller, Peach, Willa Smart, Elena Ailes, Paige Naylor, and Academy Records’ - Stephen Lacy, Ro Lundberg, and Cathy Hsiao.
“Being chosen as a Teen Vogue Generation Next winner has been a surreal experience. During the shutdown of schools in 2020, I was hitting a wall and wasn't sure I was good enough to be a part of the fashion world. Now here 2 years later I am more confident than ever that I will make a place for myself.”
