I was raised on farms in Williamston, Michigan where I cultivated a love for art at a very young age. Whether it was creating a chariot with my sisters from an old swing set and bailing twine, building forts with sticks, or making gifts from thistles and bark, I found joy in creating objects and beautiful things. My artistic explorations led me to studying industrial design at Michigan State University, and eventually a career designing print and woven fabrics. Some of the collections I have designed for include Athleta, Title Nine, Tommy Bahama, Jerry Garcia, BCBG, Sean John, Alynn, The Miracle Collection, Nature Conservancy, Kenneth Cole, Claiborne and Journeys.

Since 2008, I have been an independent contractor specializing in custom design work for a variety of applications including print/pattern design for Athleta womenswear, necktie design for Wild Attire, surface design for Rockflowerpaper home furnishings, and have developed products for my own brand which I sell in this Etsy store.

I reside in beautiful Marin County California with my amazing husband and our two pets.
