Portfolio of Work

I specialize in exclusive fashion prints/pattern design for apparel.I create prints for womenswear, activewear, and swimwear as well as for many other categories. I thrive on originality and create a variety of prints from both digital and hand-created methods. I can create artwork for screen printing and for digitally printing. Hand-made mediums I love include: watercolor, ink, dye, Cyanotype, and oil pastel.I create high resolution .psd or .ai format file in seamless repeat. Files are separated by organized editable layers (motifs) whenever possible to allow for easy edits to each file.My original print designs can be seen on brands on: Midori Bikinis, Goddess Swimwear, Pajamagram, Iwa Why Swimwear, Tommy Hilfiger, and many more!!
