With a background blending fashion design & fine art, my first job in the industry had me immersed in the world of fashion print design. Over the years, my designs have graced the floors of stores such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Target.
A pivotal moment came when I spoke at FIDM which sparked a desire to share more and demystify this industry. In 2020, I founded the Print Life, becoming a mentor to hundreds of designers. My mission is clear: Amplify artist visibility, support sustainable practices and teach the power of uniting intention & intuition.
I am so excited to share the tools, strategies, and industry insights to help pave the way for your thriving career in fashion print design!

what to charge, how to pitch and just where to start when it comes to building your surface pattern design business
If you are like so many designers out there, you might be wondering what to pitch, who to pitch and how to get the sale.
When I started out as a freelancer, I pieced things together and learned along the way. I made so many mistakes! But there was value in each and every misstep. And now, I love nothing more than sharing what I have learned, what worked and what didn't with you so that you can do things a bit faster.
You can be a successful print designer and you do not have to starve for your art. But...it will take something from you. It will take you doing things that may push you from your comfort zone. But, it is in that discomfort that you find growth. And it is in that growth that you can build the life and career that you dream of!
