I love creating Patterns, sometimes inspired by my whimsical illustration or fine art paintings.  Full of whimsy and playful, feminine color palettes, my surface designs can be applied to a wide array of products from wall art, stationary, and wallpaper, to clothing, pillows, and curtains. Being a fluent surface designer In both Illustrator and Photoshop, I keep my work and process flexible while still maintaining an authentic style full of playful color palettes and imagery –  Because I believe in creating a place that is inspirational and uniquely you – Your happy place.
