Cover image for The Nutcracker Suite was developed
The Nutcracker Suite was developed as a bespoke, novelty collection engineered to evoke the specific childhood nostalgia and joyful feeling of the holidays. To capture this aesthetic, the artwork focuses on timeless motifs—regal nutcrackers, trailing ribbons, and classic tartans—executed via digital watercolor and gouache techniques to preserve a tactile, handcrafted texture.

Cover image for There is a clear revival
There is a clear revival happening right now with classic textiles, as brands and interiors lean back into heritage styles. My ongoing goal is to introduce a modern touch to these traditional foundations without sacrificing their inherent warmth or elevated feel.

Cover image for A gentle and enduring collection
A gentle and enduring collection for considered homes and children's wear, this project required a deliberate step back from dense, heavy color blocking. Prioritizing delicate linework and generous negative space allowed me to explore a classic, airy aesthetic that feels both timeless and breathable. Designed for Moreni & Co Chateau Matin

Cover image for Translating a heritage coastal aesthetic
Translating a heritage coastal aesthetic into large-scale interior applications was a welcome shift in my design rhythm. Requiring strict control over negative space, it offered a crisp contrast to the vibrant floral collections I frequently make. For the Saltport Marina project, I engineered a collection of seamless surface patterns entirely around a disciplined, monochromatic ink-and-wash technique. By restricting the palette to deep blues and blacks on crisp white grounds, the focus shifts entirely to the technical repeat structures—staggered half-drops, interlocking ogees, and beaded diamond lattices. The goal was to build a versatile, production-ready system that scales cleanly across multiple physical touchpoints, from heavy drapery and accent cushions to fine bed linens and wallcoverings. #SurfacePatternDesign #TextileDesign #HomeFurnishings #ProductDesign #PrintDesign
