My background is in graphic design, where I went from designing for children to the corporate world where I was a senior designer at an HR consulting firm. I've had all manner of clients, which helped expand my interests and style. I've been interested in surface pattern design for many years, and now I'm excited to have the technical skills to bring my visions to life. My inspiration comes from nature and recreating in Colorado's mountains; hiking, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding.
