So, here we are! My very first blog post. 

I’m a Toronto-based surface pattern designer, which basically means I spend my days dreaming up designs that can go on, well, pretty much anything! Think fabrics, wallpaper, mugs, you name it. This little corner of the internet is where I’ll be sharing all the behind-the-scenes peeks into my creative process – the initial sketches, the “ugh, scrap that” moments, and everything in between.

It’s kinda funny, isn’t it, that I’m launching this right when our neighbours down south decided to get a bit… tariff-y. Talk about timing! But honestly, it feels right. Maybe now more than ever, we need a little extra dose of Canadian creativity in the world. You know, a splash of colour with a whole lot of whimsy.

I truly believe that art can be both joyful and a form of quiet (or not-so-quiet) resistance. It can lift your spirits, spark conversations, and maybe even make a little statement. And that’s something I’m really excited to explore here and in my shop.

So, let’s get creative, eh? Excited to share this journey with you.
