I'm an Arizona original, born and raised in the Valley of the Sun, though my life and career have taken me back and forth across the country.
I graduated from Sandra Day O'Connor High School in 2007 and spent a year studying at Glendale Community College before following my passion for art and storytelling to the Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, Georgia in the summer of 2009. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sequential Art from that fine institution in 2012 and went on to pursue a career in the retail industry, where I developed a passion for crafting unique, exciting, trend-right product.
Since then, I've had the good fortune to work for a handful of national and international clients, both in my corporate role and on a freelance contract basis, and am in the process of founding my own studio, Mimi + Pink.
