My Approach to Design

My first introduction to surface pattern design was watching my Mom, and often my Dad, test and experiment with fabric to put together the perfect quilt. I learned to sew by hand when I was four and by machine when I was seven. While I quilt less often then I used to, it is still one of those skills that feels like riding a bike. I discovered the profession of surface pattern design in 2024 when I took Bonnie Christine’s Surface Pattern Design Immersion course for the first time and a whole new world opened up for how to transform my watercolor paintings and sketches into patterns for products.

My patterns often start in my sketchbook, where I will draw thumbnail sketches and create lists of words that will turn into motifs, color palettes and textures that I will then bring into Adobe Illustrator to create my patterns. My designs are rooted in the natural environment and a love of historical themes and often combine hand-drawn illustrations with painted motifs.
