I failed my 6th grade art class. I was too creative.

In high school I studied photography and started my first designs in yearbook. I bounced around colleges studying studio art, art therapy, psychology, and then eventually landed on a BFA in Visual Communications and spent the next 18 years as a graphic + web designer for non-profits and foundations.

When I discovered that surface pattern design was a career it felt like a chance for my 6 grade self to be creative in the way I wanted to be creative! And it is SO FUN!

I have a growing love for watercolor painting and have turned my surface pattern design from digital art to watercolor based pattern making. It feeds my soul!

Hubs and I have three beautiful kids and live in North Carolina with our furry friends and an occasional flock of chickens. We love hikes, the beach, silly jokes, and Snuggle-Snacky-Soccer-Saturdays. I dabble in woodworking, diy, gardening, and just making things!
