Hello!

I am delighted to share my work with you from my sunny studio in New Hampshire. I worked as a graphic designer for many years, but am now pursuing my creative passion through surface design and illustration. As a kid, some of my favorite activities were making greeting cards and decorating my school folders—so I am living out my dream job!.

My work is inspired by the colors and patterns from retro packaging and advertising, vintage books, and other flea market ephemera. I enjoy the thought process of putting together a cohesive collection and am organized and detail-oriented when communicating with clients and executing the tasks required to bring my art into the world.

I love to make lists, buy books and office supplies, play the violin, snuggle with cats, and stay up late. Special skills: Rummikub and Wheel of Fortune.
