Meet the Designer

I've spent 25 years helping brands communicate through thoughtful design. Today I combine that experience with my fine arts training to create surface pattern collections that bring nature-inspired beauty into everyday life.

My work is rooted in color, movement, and organic forms — prairie botanicals, desert palettes, and clean mid-century geometry — resulting in patterns that feel fresh, uplifting, and full of character. Each collection is built as a family of coordinating prints designed for real-world application: fabric, wallpaper, stationery, gift, and home décor.

I work from my studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I'm currently accepting licensing inquiries and custom design commissions.

“From first sketch to final repeat, I pour creative energy into surface pattern designs that speak to my ideal audience and bring a sense of joy, story, and nature into everyday spaces.”
