CREATIVE STATEMENT
My love of patterns started as a side project while teaching product design at a university. Over the years, this love of pattern design became an obsession that I grew into a career. As a professional pattern designer and illustrator, I focus on creating gender-neutral themed art for kids, babies, and outdoor gear markets. My personal love of outdoor adventures paired with having a little boy has provided more than enough pattern design inspiration!

I absolutely love creating for the baby and kid industries, making patterns for anything from crib sheets to rompers!
Where do you find inspiration?
I spend a great deal of time adventuring outdoors in the mountains, skiing, rock climbing, mountain biking with my toddler boy. He is a huge inspiration and the reason I am focused on designing boy and gender-neutral patterns in the world!

I would absolutely love to design for an outdoor apparel company for babies and kiddos!
