Desiree has a gift for getting things done.
She is equal parts creative muse, avant-garde thinker, and professional whip-cracker. Known for the exceptional quality of her work and for being a truthteller, Desiree believes in radical honesty and creative disruption as tools for transformation.
In her personal life, Desiree single-parents two neurodivergent and magical children whom she calls her “wild things.” She’s a queer Indigenous femme and proud member of the radical faery community. Desiree is also a mixed media artist, certified creativity coach, and modern medicine woman.
Above all things, Desiree believes in magic, and she hopes you do too.
“She's mad but she's magic. There's no lie in her fire."
