CREATIVE STATEMENT


What I love most about print design is the ability to create art that shares self-expression. Prints create an extension of your personality and personal likes. I’ve created prints for bedding, apparel, giftwrap, and much more. Each time with a goal of making something playful, with a bit of story or a touch of education.

Q&A


What industry do you most enjoy creating patterns for?
I enjoy making prints for kids and baby. I like color and playful themes which work well for this market. 

Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in popular childhood themes that spark imagination. Like, unicorns, wild animals, dinosaurs, and space travel. I specialize in prints that are out of the box fun!

What would be your dream pattern job?
My dream pattern job would be to make a big collection of prints and graphics that all worked together for a bedding or apparel collection.  Which is something I’ve done before and would love to do again.
