Handcrafted Experience

These curated designs are a product of love, perfected over several years of trial and error. Many of my designs are heavily influenced by the classics, with a modern twist for enhanced performance. Others designs are centered around specific themes such as Birds (Ruffled Feathers, Flights of Fancy), Fabric patterns (MN Quilt, Tartan), and Flowers and Foliage (Petal Fold, The Jungle)
