| I love to design. It can be a dog collar, a website, a quilt, an infant collection, a vase, a t-shirt, a shower curtain, socks, a rug, a photo album....doesn't matter. I look at everything and think about how I would change, and hopefully improve, the design. Sometimes the change might be slight but to my eye it would make all the difference in the world. Other times it needs a major rehaul, back to the drawing board. I love to work with other people to see how they perceive things; their vision can enhance my own. I thrive on working with a design team; artists, designers, merchandisers, and the salespeople out there on the frontlines...and I like to art direct in order to develop more product, since I can never create as fast as I think, even with the phenomenal digital design tools I adore. Design has so many facets...the market need, the "signature" of a given company, how the customer is always evolving, and sometimes just how the wind is blowing on a given day. I love making it happen. | ||

| My freelance design work encompasses a wide range of products from high end womenswear African textile design to kitchen towels for discount stores to floor mats for mass retailers to dog beds for small independent pet supply companies to photo album covers for giftware houses to socks and layette....and I'd love to try my hand with shower curtains and watches. The fundamental principles of solid design and great color remain true for everything from the perfect print collections for a quilt to the exquisitely colored yarn dye. And it also involves brainstorming with a team of merchandisers, salespeople and designers, or sitting down with a single small business owner and learning to see what is in their mind's eye. | ||
