OUR MISSION

Co-founder / Editor-in-Chief

Head of Media and Public Relations

I am a fan of a good secret, overly curating all that allows, and corner-of-the-party conversation. In other words, I love poetry, songwriting, photography, and investigative journalism. I am passionate about the preservation of artistic intellectual property in the digital age, and graduated from Barnard College with a B.A. in Political Science and Human Rights. I’ve explored this amalgamation of interests as the former Arts & Culture Music Deputy Editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator, an A&R intern in Warner Music’s ETA program, as an intern for Creative Intell and the Senate, and beyond! You can find my music journalism and creative work in MarchXness and Rat Rock Magazine, among other places! I love the ability of art in any form to connect people to past and future versions of themselves as well as to others, and am involved in Potted Purple’s marketing and outreach (and very excited to meet all of you!).

Co-founder / Editor-in-Chief

Head of Graphic Design & Illustration

I am a proud multi-hyphenate. I'm a music and arts journalist, of course for Potted Purple, but also for publications like The Artists Forum & EveryDejaVu. In college, I double-majored in Literary Studies and Contemporary Music, so in essence, I never stop talking about the things I love. I have a penchant for poetry, creative nonfiction essays, strong song lyrics, and indie rock guitar. I'm a musician myself, and have an upcoming EP set to release this year. In addition to my main talents, I love to paint, draw, and digitally illustrate, and I am in charge of layout, design, and animation for Potted Purple. Recently, I've dabbled in printmaking and I particularly enjoy screen prints (my walls are covered in them). I also shoot film photography (35mm and medium format) which you'll probably find in the pages of our magazine or across mine & my friends' Instagrams.
