I am a painter and surface pattern designer creating print designs for fashion, accessories, and home goods. My work is rooted in fine art practices—drawing, painting, printmaking, and fabric dyeing—which I translate into patterns that feel expressive, tactile, and distinctly handmade. I focus on color play, layered textures, and subtle imperfections that bring depth and character to the print designs.

Each pattern begins by hand, allowing intuition, mark-making, and experimentation to guide the process before being refined for a repeat pattern. This approach results in designs that retain the freshness and nuance of original hand-drawn artwork while becoming adaptable for a wide range of applications and scales. 

My background spans painting and printmaking (BFA, Cleveland Institute of Art), early exposure to textiles through my family’s fabric business, and hands-on experience within the fashion and apparel industry in both New York City and the Pacific Northwest. Working across fabric sales, garment production, and apparel startups has shaped how I design—always with an understanding of how prints function on the body and in everyday life.

Surface pattern design has become the natural intersection of everything I love: art and design, fashion, color play – all coming together in art meant to be used and lived with.
