CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in patterns began during my college years, sparked by an assignment that soon became a central part of my thesis project. I discovered a love for creating patterns that go beyond simple repetition. By incorporating my love for animals and storytelling, I create designs that people can connect to. Over the years, I've developed a variety of collections, and I still get excited imagining the endless possibilities each collection can bring to life!

Q&A
What industry do you most enjoy creating patterns for?
I really enjoy creating work for stationery, gift wrap, packaging, apparel, and kids products.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find a lot of inspiration from my inner child and thinking about how to make adult life a little more exciting. But I also get inspired from nature, scrolling online, color palettes or anything that happens to catch my attention. My mind is always thinking of new ideas!
What would be your dream pattern job?
I would love to be creating collections for children's products whether it be clothes, stationery, home decor or something else! I just think it would be amazing to walk into a big name store and see all these things you've made!
