Pattern, illustration, and visual language. Independent since 2023.

I've spent seventeen years working at the intersection of surface design, fashion, and visual language — learning, in that time, that what I do best is not just make things look good, but translate intention into atmosphere. Take something that exists only as a feeling or an idea, and give it form that the person can finally point to and say: that's it.

I went independent in 2023. Not to escape the industry, but to bring everything I learned inside it into work that's more deliberate, more mine — and more honest about what I actually find worth making.

My background is in print and pattern, with nearly a decade coordinating seasonal surface collections for home and bedding at scale. My practice now moves between surface design, illustration, and selected visual work — with a particular pull toward narrative, children's publishing, and projects that need a world behind them, not just a visual style.
