Originally from exotic New Jersey, I studied Illustration at Pratt and cut my teeth in the fast-paced NYC childrenswear district before happily settling in laid-back Austin, Texas. These days, you’ll find me designing from my favorite neighborhood coffee shop—fueled by a Mexican vanilla iced latte and breakfast taco — while my speckled chi-beagle, Perdita, supervises from under the table. When the Texas heat hits full blast, we pack up my beloved vintage campervan, Trixie, and head for snowmelt rivers, mountain air, and small-town vintage shops in search of inspiration and to recharge our batteries.

As a surface pattern designer and creative collaborator for 25 years, I’ve worked across a wide range of categories—from baby and bedding to soft and hard home, gift, table top, reusable bags, soft lunch totes, pet, and jammies. If it can be decorated, I want to decorate it. I’m endlessly curious, versatile in style, and genuinely love tailoring my work to each client’s vision to create fun, striking, commercially successful designs, which I love spotting out in the wild!

When people ask what I do for a living, I usually say: I draw cute sh*t that they put on stuff. But really, I bring a thoughtful, strategic approach to every project, combining creative intuition with practical market insight. I’m especially passionate about partnering with sustainability-minded companies and adding beauty to the everyday.

Outside the studio, you’ll find me gardening, binge reading in a hammock, or fostering pups through Austin Pets Alive. And always, always chasing inspiration for the next thing.

My services include creating fresh, trend-driven surface prints, wrestling existing artwork into production-ready vector files, building cohesive collections, recreating vintage fabric designs digitally, licensing designs from my library, and providing print and product direction. Whether you're launching a new line or expanding an existing one, I bring a couple of decades of experience, a collaborative mindset, and a love of visual storytelling to every brand partnership.
