I’m the printmaker behind the press(es) at radical emprints. I started to learn letterpress printing in 2012, just as I was also beginning to learn about grassroots organizing. I ended up spending about nine years at a basebuilding organization. I worked on a health care is a human right campaign and I learned & then started teaching about grassroots fundraising and values-aligned grantwriting — so movement orgs don’t compromise their politics or their work while navigating the non-profit industrial complex. And I was doing all of this while learning how to be a letterpress printer — so it was a natural progression to start putting printmaking & organizing together. I still do fundraising training with movement organizations, but now poetry & printmaking are also a big part of my contribution to the movement for collective liberation.

Since 2015-ish, I have been deeply grateful to get to print most of my work on a Vandercook 4 at Pickwick Independent Press. In 2023, I acquired my own Heidelberg Windmill, which has allowed me to start printing in bigger quantities — and which is why you now find yourself on my wholesale website!
