About me
As a little girl, I spent my days between my grandmother’s lush English garden and my grandfather’s bustling tailor shop. From a young age, creativity and craftsmanship were a natural part of life—arts and crafts weren’t just hobbies, they were a way of being.
I went on to study Art History in Montreal, which deepened my love for visual storytelling, but it was in the fast-paced world of advertising that I built a career as a graphic designer. Still, my hands always found their way back to the handmade: watercolor, stained glass, jewelry-making, and of course, sewing—all ways to stay rooted in the tactile traditions I grew up with.
Since 2022, I’ve embraced the freedom of freelancing, diving headfirst into the vibrant world of surface pattern design. My curiosity for historical styles and motifs continues to inspire me, shaping an ever-evolving creative voice. I love experimenting with new techniques and seeing where they take me—because for me, creativity is a journey, not a destination. And it’s one I’m excited to share with you.
If I can create something that brightens a space, elevates an object, or brings a smile to someone’s face, I know I’ve done my job.

FAQs
-
I work either traditionally in a sketchbook or directly on my tablet using the Procreate app. I love taking part in creative challenges—they often spark the initial ideas for my collections. Then, using the skills I gained from the Repertoire course on different pattern styles, I develop and complete each collection at my own pace, depending on my inspiration and availability. I finalize my patterns in Adobe Illustrator, which gives me great flexibility when it comes to color variations and formatting.

No, I don’t use AI to create my patterns. Like many designers, I have access to the tools available through Adobe Creative Cloud and the image libraries I subscribe to—but I truly enjoy the hands-on creative process. Even if the path to the final result can be challenging at times, it brings me much more satisfaction. I believe this manual approach adds a sense of authenticity and a touch of imperfection to the patterns I create.

You can expect a professional and flexible service tailored to your project needs. I’m happy to provide Pantone color references for accurate color matching, including suggestions for watercolor-based designs when exact codes aren’t available. Most of my designs are vector-based, which makes color customization easy if you’re looking to match your brand or vision.
All of my surface pattern designs are created as seamless repeats, making them ideal for fabric, wallpaper, or any product that requires continuous printing. If your printer or manufacturer needs layered artwork or specific file formats, I’ll gladly accommodate that too.
