Print + Pattern

Currently, my daily practice revolves around surface design— an interest of mine I’m passionately persuing. My time at SCAD has equipped me with knowledge of industry practices and standards, granting me the room to explore various elements such as color, shape, form, tile types, and playful imagery. My pattern collections are playful— often harkening back to the spirit of contemporary American printmaking.

Kandersteg Blumen

“The hills are alive, with the sound of music” This floral collection is intended for interiors, walltextiles + wallpaper, upholstery, drapery, etc. Inspired by the sweetness of Springtime in the Swiss Alps (Kandersteg- Blauensee) and the crispness of the alpine air. Consider the glacial towers and the symphony of cowbells in the distance.
