When Passions Collide: How My Love of Education & Surface Pattern Design is Paying Off

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved learning. I’m the type of person who gets excited about a fresh notebook, a new book on creativity, or even diving deep into tutorials and historical textile patterns. When I combine this passion with my love for surface pattern design—the interplay of color, texture, storytelling, and nostalgia—it’s clear why my heart has always been divided between these two worlds.

Recently, I’ve had a truly special experience. After years of dedicating myself to learning, growing, and designing (often behind the scenes), I’ve noticed a significant shift. I’m now creating collections that feel more authentic to who I am than ever before. These pieces tell stories, evoke memories, and reflect the values I cherish most: beauty, learning, childhood wonder, and thoughtful design.

My latest collections—“Tiny Blooms,” “Fire Rescue,” and “Spring Meadow”—represent the culmination of everything I’ve worked toward. “Tiny Blooms” is delicate and nostalgic, capturing slow days and little details. “Fire Rescue” draws inspiration from the boundless energy and bravery of childhood heroes, while “Spring Meadow” offers a breath of fresh air—soft, hopeful, and full of life.

This experience serves as a reminder that growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s slow and steady, nurtured by an internal passion and quiet persistence. Then, one day, you look around and realize: I’m doing it. It’s working. I’m creating work I truly love.

If you find yourself in a season of learning, growing, or wondering when it will all click—keep going. Your passions have a way of intertwining in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. And when that happens, it’s pure magic.

    I fell in love with watercolors when my son Elliot was born. That was over 10 years ago & since then I have picked up a paintbrush numerous times which has now morphed into an Apple Pencil. Along with SAA I am a surface designer for other brands as well as our own line of merchandise. This blog is a place for me to share every stroke of my "brush" & let you know what's up & coming
