I've always been an artist, it just took me 30 years to find my favorite medium.

​

I studied Fine Art - Painting in university and then shifted my focus to my four kids. While full-time creative work took a back seat during those baby and toddler years, I always dabbled in things after hours. Wedding and family photography, cake decorating, homeschooling, hand lettering... I kept creating until I was able to dedicate the time to being a full-time artist.

 

When that day came I started sewing. First with creating my kids' costumes but eventually I was introduced to quilting by a fellow creative mom. I was hooked! I immediately starting designing my own quilts, I didn't have interest in sewing from another person's pattern. The design step was my favorite step!

​

And so pattern design was a natural fit for me. And now, over 30 patterns later, I'm fleunt in the language of pattern design. And while I'm still very actively designing and writing, I also enjoy other expressions like pantograph design, art quilts, and teaching.

​

My patterns are often described as striking, graphic, bold, modern, and dynamic. I value uniqueness, and create designs that stop people in their tracks. My personal values also drive my work. I believe in being inclusive and enabling the underrepresented within our community. I recognize that our community has a lot of room for growth and I like being a part of positive change.
