I am a graphic designer, illustrator, textile artist and all-around crafty person who adores all things vintage and colorful. My design specialties are illustration, layouts, and branding, and I absolutely love playing with type and color palettes. My style is whimsical, colorful, artsy, cozy, soft, & vintage-inspired. My designs are influenced by retro colors, children’s books, folk art, fairy tales, and antique textiles. I’m an old soul and I am passionate about finding imaginative ways to recreate traditional styles in my work. As a perfectionist, I pay close attention to details and pour everything I have into each project I create. Fun Facts: I love sewing, crocheting, knitting, quilting, drawing, writing, and being creative. Expeditions to the fabric or craft store make me ridiculously excited!I adore all things vintage and flowery and enjoy perusing antique stores and flea markets. When I’m not designing, you can usually find me curled up in my natural habitat: a quiet cozy nook, tangled up in yarn or covered in fabric scraps and watching period dramas or romantic comedies.I’m an introvert, but I can’t wait to meet you!
