Pattern Design

In May 2018, I received a degree in Textile/Surface Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. It was a great joy to study at such a prestigious school alongside dear classmates. I learned to design patterns, paint traditional florals, sharpen my computer skills, screen print, and weave.

Since returning home, I've been developing a line of patterned gift wrap, and designing and hooking rugs. I am continuing my studies in weaving on my used 8 harness Macomber loom. Here of some examples of my gift wrap. The patterns were drawn on black and white scratchboard (as are my book illustrations) before being scanned, colored, and put in repeat on the computer.
