My love of design and textiles took me to New York City where I worked in the Garment Industry. I continued my career back in my hometown of Seattle working in product development and design. While working for a bedding manufacturer, I also got the opportunity to design packaging. I loved my career but decided to try something different when I had children. I used my sewing skills to make products (baby slings, baby bibs, clothes), I created book illustrations, I designed logos, and I of course I worked on fabric designs and collections. Now that my kids are in school fulltime, I have more time to devote to designing and am focusing on creating fabric collections and working on freelance projects.
