A personal site for creative work, writing, and the things I am thinking through.

Who I Am

I grew up in the Bay Area and followed a path through medicine — school in the Pacific Northwest, residency in Illinois — before returning home. This site is not a medical practice. It is a place for the other parts of me.

When I am not in clinic, you will find me on a hiking trail, hunting for the best vegetarian food in the Bay Area, or with a paintbrush in my hand. I believe health is about more than medicine — it is about curiosity, connection, and the courage to make things with your hands.

Things I Make

Mostly paintings, pottery, and the occasional hand-bound journal. This site is where I share what I am working on, alongside the thoughts that come along with it.

Creative Work

Painting

Watercolor and acrylic. An ongoing exploration of color and form.

Pottery

Hand-thrown ceramics. Functional and quiet.

Writing

Reflections and process notes. Coming soon.
