I began my creative journey in the performing arts, studying both acting and costume design at Indiana University.

After five years as a professional actor, I welcomed my first child and decided to high-tail it out of Los Angeles. Over the next eight years, life took me on a rollercoaster of experiences—raising three kids, making three cross-country moves (CA-MN-CA-MN), and transforming myself into a self-taught graphic and web designer. Once my kids started school, life found its rhythm, and I set up my creative sanctuary at home.

The turning point came with a single Google search. While engrossed in one of my many jigsaw puzzles, I wondered how artists get their work onto those cardboard pieces. That curiosity sparked my journey into art licensing and surface pattern design. For the next six months, I dove headfirst into this new world, fueled by an insatiable passion, taking classes and spending countless late nights creating repeat patterns.

Today, I blend my love for bright, saturated colors with gel printing, cut paper, and collage to create vibrant surface patterns. My work often features my favorite color, pink—the heart of my vibrant palette! I’m always experimenting with new techniques and supplies, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a belief that learning is a lifelong adventure.

When I’m not in the studio, I enjoy curling up with a good book, tackling puzzles, and hitting the road with my family to explore national parks or discover new cities. My mission is simple: to create playful, joyful designs that brighten spaces and inspire creativity.
