Surface Pattern Design
In the margins of my life, I have learned to use Adobe Illustrator. I have applied this digital tool to my original works in fiber, as well as explored its use in surface pattern design. Making my own repeating patterns has been a thrill; reminding me of the time when I would search for that perfect fabric to make curtains and pillows or the stationary that best represented my vibe.
