I have been designing since I was a little girl. Starting with creating clothes for my Barbies’, color, pattern and fabrics have always been my passion. For 25 years I have been a CMF Product Manager developing colors, materials and finishes for leading office furniture companies like Herman Miller. As a PM, I gained invaluable knowledge regarding the manufacturing of yarns and fabrics as well as color selection according to market, color matching, and design trends. This knowledge helps to inform my work in surface pattern. I am influenced by patterns in nature as well as vintage design and architecture, and my work is geared towards interiors, apparel and paper products. I recently opened an Etsy shop selling stickers as a side project. Other interests include gardening, painting, knitting, sewing, and being outdoors. I live in Michigan with my husband and cat.
