Whimsical and warmly coloured with a modern folk art sensibility. The portfolio features botanical and insect-inspired motifs - wildflowers, folk butterflies, dragonflies, cupcakes - rendered with hand-drawn character. Palette spans earthy autumn tones and bright pastels. The overall feel is inviting and accessible, suited to home goods and gifting rather than fashion.
Hand-lettering combined with digital illustration. Designs originate in drawing and are developed for surface product application. Products are made-to-order, suggesting digital print-ready output. Lettering is integrated as a design element alongside illustrated motifs.
Home decor and gifting, with appeal for children's rooms and teen spaces. Sells art prints, throw pillows, tea towels, fabric, and custom dog collars through her own shop. Selected placements suggest designs applied to cushions and home textiles. Licensed artist working across consumer goods.
Minneapolis-based artist and designer with a self-described practice of "making things pretty since I could hold a pencil." Operates as a licensed artist and surface designer running her own product line alongside licensing activity. Open to licensing enquiries.
Folk art-influenced florals and nature motifs - wildflowers, insects, botanical sprigs - with a hand-drawn, illustrative quality. Designs are scaled for home products and paper goods rather than apparel repeats. Selected images indicate a seasonal and character-driven range.
