I’m a Los Angeles–based apparel and surface pattern designer with over 20 years of experience creating trend-driven designs for children’s apparel, petwear, lifestyle products, and licensed collections. My work spans apparel graphics, textile and pattern design, product development, and branding for global fashion, gift, and home markets.

​

My background includes designing for leading retailers and licensors such as Disney Consumer Products, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., and Hanna-Barbera. I’ve developed collections across kidswear, juniors, womenswear, and pet categories, as well as packaging, promotional goods, and textile prints.

With my Sebastian 1997-2013

Rooted in both artistry and strategy, my design approach blends illustration, trend forecasting, and creative direction to bring imaginative, emotionally resonant products to life. I’m known for my organization, collaboration, and ability to take projects from concept to completion with clarity, passion, and precision.

​

From a young age, I loved animals and fashion, often designing clothes for my pets and my Barbie dolls (rather than just playing with them). That passion led me to a lifelong career where I could merge creativity with compassion. I’ve proudly upheld ethical design principles, avoiding real fur and leather, while proving that fashion can be both beautiful and kind.

​

In addition to my design work, I’ve taught fashion courses as an adjunct instructor and contributed to animal rescue organizations by creating fundraising graphics and directing fashion and pet shows.

​

Today, I continue to freelance while seeking new opportunities for long-term design collaboration or full-time apparel design roles. Thank you for visiting—please reach out if you’d like to connect or view additional portfolio work.
