CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in pattern design came as a surprise to me. I stumbled across amazing surface pattern designs on Instagram and took a robust class to learn the techniques. Over the past three years, my style has blossomed through immersion in the pattern design community and with new developments in digital design that have allowed my creativity to flourish. What I love most about pattern design is the process itself. I fall into another world of color, shape, and imagination that is essential to my being.
