One of my favorite childhood memories is playing with my grandmother’s brass and stained glass kaleidoscope. I was fascinated by the way the colors shifted and danced with the light, and looking back, I think that experience was the beginning of my love for stained glass.

What started as a COVID hobby quickly became a passion and eventually a full-time business. I initially taught myself, but after moving to Austin in 2021, I began frequenting a local glass shop, where the owner eventually hired me. I spent a year helping run the shop and training under him, learning the craft hands-on.

From there, I began selling my work online and at Austin markets, taking on commissions for interior designers and guest teaching at local studios. In 2025, I opened Sundazed Glass Studio in Austin, where I now teach small-group workshops and continue sharing my love of the craft with the community.
