Analog girl in a digital world.
Based in New York City & FMTY
​
I moved here for art school in 2004, and outside of a few years away, I’ve been here ever since.
As a young artist, I was lucky to be mentored by those who helped shape this city’s culture long before social media. For a long time, the downtown scene was my home base. It was a world of filmmakers, artists, and creatives who valued the unvarnished over the filtered. I hold a BA in Fine Art and Sociology with a concentration in critique and political art, an MFA in Visual Studies, and a Graduate Gemologist degree, which has allowed me to enjoy a career in the diamond industry. I came up listening to Nas while navigating the city with no phone, back when you actually had to know where you were going
or figure it out on the fly.
​
Whether it was unboxing a McQueen, hand-delivering a quadro tourbillon, assisting public figures, or taking care of diamonds, it was all just part of the job. Discretion is my second language. Native New Yorkers taught me how to navigate the streets, and showed me secret corners that most people never get to see. It’s where I honed an eye for the design, history, and craftsmanship that usually goes unnoticed.
​
As a plus model, I learned not just to love my body, but to celebrate my curves, and that I was most successful when I was truest to myself. A few years ago, I stumbled into companionship and never looked back. It felt like the final piece of the puzzle.
Connecting with you comes naturally to me.
​
I do best with men between 35 and 65 who are hungry for authenticity and natural chemistry. Gen X and Millenial men in particular love my intellect, my sense of humor, and my ability to absolutely blow your mind sexually. I treat sexual chemistry as an art form, and I am fully devoted to the craft.
You can always be your true self with me. You can let your guard down. I love giving you the space to just be yourself and explore your deepest desires. I specialize in authentic, natural girlfriend experience with an open mind to kink.
​
Let’s turn off our phones and create our own secret universe.
Your thoughts and fantasies are safe with me. Let me take you to a place where you can truly forget the demands of your day-to-day. Like my regulars, you will return to your life feeling refreshed and with a new enthusiasm for it. My men value quiet sophistication and a real connection.
​
For those who know, nothing else will do.
