Why HexofHoney?
In 2017 I took a course at St Kate's that was a mix of biology and beekeeping. While I have always loved bees, this solidified my love of bees and the dream to have a country property with my own bees.
My educational background from St. Kate's is a Studio art degree with a double concentration in graphic design and photography, and a double minor in art history and digital humanities.
I graduated in 2020 with Magna Cum Laude distinction, and was awarded membership into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.
What do you do?
I work with Goldfine Jewelry M-F doing photography, design, production, styling, marketing... you name it.
I also work with Little Sproutling Nursery (aka Holly) located on the east coast. Holly designs and handmakes the Sproutling artdolls, and we connected through TickTok. We became fast friends and an amazing team! Under my management, the following online grew by 150,000 in under a year.
I also do contract work for other small businesses, whether it be content creation, social media management, photography, illustration, and more.
