Background

My path to becoming a surface pattern designer wasn’t straight. It started early with a childhood love of drawing, painting, sewing and pretty much any craft carried in the local craft store.  It took a large detour when I went college and got a degree in mechanical engineering. I started my engineering career developing consumer appliances, which made me realize that making things that people use and enjoy brought a great deal of satisfaction.  

Eventually, I really missed having art in my everyday life. My love of sewing introduced me to all the beautiful fabrics patterns which started me on my journey to become a surface pattern designer.
