Pottery has become a sacred practice in my day to day balance over the past 2 years. It’s a chance to activate my creative side, connect with my inner artist, play with natural materials, get messy, and see what appears. After a long day, it helps center me to keep what I want and release the rest.
Connecting with the community here is a joy- and such a nice change from my daily finance conversations. I enjoy making pottery for friends- and give away all my pieces we don’t eat drink or plant flowers in. Come jump in with us!

Hi there! I'm a Bay Area native artist who discovered pottery two years ago and absolutely fell in love! My first pottery teacher once told me that, “clay holds memory.” Since then, I’ve cherished the thought that each piece I create is more than form—it is a moment captured, an imprint of the emotions, memories, and passion pressed into the clay, preserved in time. I draw inspiration from the natural beauty around us, and especially love creating planters and vases that give nature a home to flourish.
I love becoming immersed in the flow—feeling the clay in my hands, caught in the simple joy of play, and watching as the earth itself transforms into pieces that bring beauty and meaning into my life. The community here at Centered is a treasure, come join us! It's a chance to get dirty, be whimsical, and let your imagination come to life.
