Collaborator, creative thinker

I’m a designer based in Portland, Oregon. I went to school for art and became obsessed with making paper and wire sculptures. I married my high school sweetheart, a sculptor, and we moved to Oregon so he could learn to carve word. I used to own a greeting card company called Parlez-Vous, and that led to painting, jewelry making, photography, and most recently, macrame. Now I’m into pressing flowers and leaves and exploring nature.

My interest in art is rooted in the natural world around me. I love the flowers, the trees, the animals, and the way the light touches the tips of every little thing. It humbles and inspires me. It teaches me to relax — and to listen.
