Design has always interested me...a place at the intersection of art and service....I am drawn to the rhythm of repetition, the balance between movement and stillness, and the way a thoughtfully designed textile can influence the feeling of a space, and a mood.

My years of practicing yoga have shaped the way I approach design. Yoga is a practice of attention, of noticing breath, sensation, and the subtle shifts that happen when we become more present. A fact I haven't shared widely is that I am a certified teacher - and currently continuing my studies toward my 500-hour teaching certification. My ongoing practice has been a huge benefit to my life, and continues to influence the way I see the world around me.

Yoga is about so much more than simply getting into pretty poses. It's learning to live from our inner light. It is about learning to pay attention, to cultivate intention and clarity. That same quality of attention influences how I approach pattern: not simply as something to place within a room, but as something that contributes thoughtfully to the experience of being in that space.

A pattern has its own rhythm. It can feel quiet and grounding, expressive and energetic, or somewhere beautifully in between. Scale, repetition, color, and texture all work together to shape how a textile is experienced.

When designing textiles, I think about more than how a pattern looks. I consider how it feels to live with. How does it interact with light? How does it layer with other materials? Does it create a sense of calm, curiosity, or even natural connection?

This is one of the reasons I love textiles. A fabric can transform the atmosphere of a room through color, texture, and pattern. A single print can stand beautifully on its own, or become part of a larger composition of layers and materials. Choosing a fabric can feel like a way to come closer to your own sense of being, seeing yourself through your choices.

The same qualities that draw me to yoga: mindfulness, clarity, and presence, are qualities I hope to bring to every textile in our collection. It may not be obvious, and in a way, I feel it shouldn't be!  But, I do hope you can feel they come from a good place.
