My Approach to Design

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. My designs are rooted in the natural environment and a love of historical themes and often combine hand-drawn illustrations with painted motifs.
