Share a bit about your life.
I am a freelance brand designer, mother of two, and a California native. I went to college and studied graphic design and studio art, with a focus in printmaking and ceramics. I was a brand designer for years and currently do freelance work in-between chasing my two littles. I started doing surface pattern design after years of dreaming about trying it. Now it is a focus of my free time and I love the direction it’s heading.
A Sense of Wonder
I love exploring motifs that bring a little sense of wonder and mystery. Adventure and literary stories are my daily inspiration.
I am influenced by my background in traditional printmaking techniques, although I am fully digital in my execution. I use both Procreate and Illustrator to create my designs.
What future goals do you have?
My dream is to make Surface Design my full-time career, and I hope to start licensing soon.
