Anyone sewing holiday gifts yet? My potholder patt

The wallpaper design of my dreams is now in our po

The wallpaper design of my dreams is now in our powder room! 🙌🏻 Early in 2020 we moved to a new home. It’s a mid-century modernist ranch, but it needed updating from the 90's remodel.

Our family focus on hospitality and welcoming guests made the powder room a big priority. (Unfortunately, COVID has kept us from having people in our home much...)

There were so many details in this update, I wrote a blog post! You can find links to all the things I used there. Plus, some thoughts about patterned hexagons tiles

I designed the wallpaper, which is now available in my @spoonflower shop. You can find this beautiful wall art by @makewells through @minted 😍

We hope to be able to welcome some guests into our happy little powder room as soon as it's safe!

One of my favorite reminders from @bonniechristine

One of my favorite reminders from @bonniechristine ...I’ve been doodling during #immersionlive and this is what came out.

Big things happen in small steps forward everyday! What are you stepping toward today?

I’m thankful I was raised with resilience and a growth mindset. The older I get, the more I value resilience and hope that I am doing enough to teach my kids to keep moving forward after failures and disappointments.

It’s been a long summer of pitching to fabric companies and hearing that my work is nice but they aren’t looking for new designers.

This is the behind-the-scenes... No one is instantly successful. For every one licensing deal you see an artist post, they probably heard 10-20 rejections or more. So, you just keep pressing forward!

Another packaging design and fresh logo for @sadie

I’ve been working with a client on branding for a ethical boutique that gives back a percentage to community charities. 👏🏻❤️

This is one of a couple of patterns I designed for her tissue paper. The flowers are jasione representing justice, and protea representing transformation and diversity.

Sometimes I hold back my favorite portfolio design

Sometimes I hold back my favorite portfolio designs instead of sharing them with you! I’m not sure why. The whole point of designing is to share the lovely designs and make the world a more beautiful place. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This one is called flourishing mountain blooms. I designed it as part of a collection that I would love to see on some products for sustainable outdoor brands, like a @patagonia sundress or yoga headband. And of course a fabric line, because...fabric ❤️

What would you love to see with this design? A throw rug? Wallpaper? A backpack? So many possibilities! ☺️
