Surface Pattern Designer
Fostering Balance, Beauty + Joy With Eco-Conscious Designs
I believe, design has the power to make your home, its decor,
and the feelings encompassed fall into harmony with
the life you want to lead. From the forward-thinking
aspects of sustainable living to the ancient traditions of Feng Shui, let’s establish a chic and conscious
environment with awe-inspiring surface pattern
designs.
For vibrant individuals who appreciate unique,
artist-made work, but who don’t want to overlook the
ripple effect of how products are made, and how they
make you feel.
Captivating and inspiring while lessening the environmental impact.
Everything can change in a matter of moments.
You can have
your health, your career, and your family. And then the
unexpected can rock your world.
One of those moments for me was a bicycle accident. The
aftermath nearly broke me. I could hardly even hold a pencil. But it
was my inner strength and environment that built me back up again.
The
surroundings I had so carefully designed before the accident
were still there, free of clutter and toxins, and without
distraction. The clarity and even joy that I infused into that
space helped me recover. I could take back my life.
You never know what can happen, but you can choose to create an environment that supports you.
To feel good at home because of what you place in your home.
Those little moments
— inspired by the mere sight of something you love— lead to
a greater impact, evoking reactions of joy and encouraging
the deep breaths that sometimes help you just get through
the day, and hopefully find moments of safety and peace too.
This has been a transformational journey. To bring all of this
into the lives of others is life-changing. That is why you can
find me stepping into, and prioritizing, this mindful creativity
at my home in the rolling hills of Chester County,
Pennsylvania.
