Hello! I’ve always found it tricky to put my work out there for the world to see—shining a spotlight on my life isn’t my thing. Much of my art is super personal, sometimes even a little private, which doesn’t exactly vibe with the social media scene. But you know what I’ve discovered? Pouring my energy into teaching and sharing what I’ve learned feels more me. It’s given me this incredible sense of connection and purpose I didn’t know I was craving.

As a teacher, I’m all about gathering incredible resources and sharing what I've learned to inspire my students. It's not the kind of stuff you slap together, but real fuel for digging in, experimenting, and crafting something unique. That’s what drives me—helping other creators and educators see the creative process as more than just a hobby or a gig, but a whole way of living. I lean hard into research, history, and real-life experiences because they’re the roots of originality—those little nuggets that turn “what if” into “let’s try it.” For me, education is about building a space where curiosity thrives, mistakes are just pit stops, and everyone’s encouraged to make something that’s totally, unapologetically theirs.

When you peek at my art and designs, you’ll catch that love for digging into history, soaking up experiences, and weaving it all together. Swing by hbarrdesigns.com to check it out!
