My art explores design and storytelling through both fiber and paper. I make every patterned surface I use in my work, whether it’s fabric or the paper covering a book or box. Many designs start by creating paper collages with recycled and hand-painted papers, which I piece together into whimsical illustrations. I then scan and transform these images into repeating patterns, creating a seamless surface. For others, I use hand embroidery to add texture and depth to handmade paper. These original surfaces are then used to create functional, three-dimensional objects like wearables, bags, and handmade books.

Each design begins with a story that has two sides: a visual story for the viewer and a hidden one that acts like a journal of the piece’s inspiration and creation. From butterflies made secretly from photos of construction equipment to a bold stripe inspired by vintage doorknobs, each work has multiple layers, both literally and metaphorically. Many of my titles use wordplay and puns to hint at these hidden stories and are often inspired by comments or questions from my community.
