The beauty of a detail, the curve of a line, how light plays off materials in the natural world... these are my inspirations.  I use my interest in color, texture, and dimension to create original art, textile collections and structures.  Although I define myself as a designer who is never far from her loom, I'm also a technician who prepares digital Jacquard files for production weaving.

I’ve always designed with purpose in mind by equally creating aesthetic solutions while building in performance.  Specifications for particular market segments has always driven contract business but in a time of change, designing ‘with purpose’ has the potential to provide a greater public service, https://bit.ly/3NTDAwN. Science is forever expanding the capability to combine innovation with strategic design solutions and this is what drives my curiosity now more than ever.

For over twenty years I have been an independent consultant and professional textile designer for the interiors market, specializing in modern aesthetics.  I work with mills, furniture manufacturers, and distributors to develop new product categories and bring full color lines of specification driven product to both the contract and home interior markets.  My classic moderns span many categories, including upholstery, panel, wall covering, cubicle cloth and drapery.  In addition, I've extensive experience developing original textiles for men's suiting, shirts and ties.
