About me

I’ve been doing design professionally for 13 years, but it wasn’t until I started experimenting with abstract embroidery in late 2020 that I truly felt CREATIVE. I had always been solving my clients’ “problems” and it finally felt like I was making things from and for myself. I fell in love with not only the design aspect of it, but the physical feeling of stitching - I got addicted and haven't stopped since. 

My process

I usually start with a loose color scheme or inspiration image(s) and simply gather all the possible materials I might use for the piece. I love to work mostly with wool and cotton fibers, using 100% wool felt as my background fabric. A wide range of textures and contrasting sizes is important to me and as anyone can see from my Instagram feed, I am obsessed with circles. I almost never sketch or plan anything in advance - I have a rough idea in my head of what shapes and textures I want… and I just go for it. Typically a piece starts with the largest shapes or elements (like a giant circle or large area of wool felting) and ends with the tiniest details (like beads and seed stitches).
