Many years ago I walked through the doors of Florence Eiseman Co to apply for a design job. What I didn't know then was that it would turn out to be my dream job, working for a family owned company known for it's quality and design of high end children's clothing.

​

The job took me to far away places in search of  the best fabrics, the best factories, and the best restaurants!

​

About five years ago I started designing a collection of knitwear as a division of Florence Eiseman. This entailed designing the prints as well as the garments and working with a printer and manufacturer in Peru.

​

I discovered how much I love designing patterns. My creative design process has always started with the fabric: What are the coordinating colors, what is the drape, how does it feel, and how does it speak to me.

I have been so inspired by the fabrics over the years that  I decided to pursue surface print design as my second career. As I was inspired, I hope to inspire other designers in the fashion field, especially in the children's market. 

​

I love bold, simple shapes in clean colors with a little whimsy and happy thrown in.

And that's my cat, Mika, and my view out of my studio window.
