Hi there! Thank you so much for your interest in supporting me and my craft. This is a genuine passion of mine and I am honored to be able to share it with you.

Please fill out this form to request an offering from me, and I will get back to you within 10-14 business days via email or phone. I cannot book less than 1 week in advance due to my academic schedule.

My offerings are also negotiable on a sliding scale for Black people and communities, Indigenous people and communities, LGBTQIA+ people and communities of color, disabled people and communities, and those who are unable to pay the base rates comfortably.

If you're interested in my work, you can check out the Portfolio page on my website for a breakdown of what my offerings have looked like in the past.
