A creative mind consists of constant energy and motion. Being inspired comes fast but the difficult part is holding on to it to create around it. Whether it is flower fields, bare trees in the Wintertime, a colorful circus scene, a personal story, or a book I have read, the next part is defining and crafting pieces to fit within.​

​

As a garment designer, pattern-maker, and sewist, for most of my life, my passion is about how one feels in their clothes. How our clothes tell our story, not just mine as an inspiration but yours as what and how you wear the clothes I make.

​​​

I work with organic textiles and I create each garment with scissors and imagination. Stitching each seam and detail is done with passion and enthusiasm. As an artist, I draw, sketch, and paint almost every day, and when inspired by a certain theme it becomes my life for weeks at a time. Whether botanicals, vintage-collage, or modern petals they have to work together and are edited into a collection. I love working with solid fabrics with texture and layering, peppered with my textile prints for that extra flavor.

I live and work in the beautiful state of Michigan, USA where the weather is unpredictable and provides nature's playgrounds. I have grown children who are each independent and carry the creative gene in their unique ways. My partner is loving and generous and he understands my need to create. I am a lucky lady!

Much love from me,
