hey! my name is dash

Originally from Wisconsin, I studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I graduated in 2021 with a BFA in Visual Communications. it didn’t take long for me to become enamored with chicago’s rich history and culture, diverse neighborhoods, and amazing food. i’ve been here ever since!

In 2022, I launched a passion project via my jewelry brand, Las Animas, specializing in making unique, socially and environmentally conscious and size-inclusive jewelry.

I love to create things that spark interest and curiosity, which you'll find throughout my work, whether graphic design, photography, or jewelry.
