inspiration >> lilly pulitzer

On October 21, 2011 · In inspiration, surface design

I love twisting up a traditional toile by making it into a party scene! Thanks for all your cheeky print inspiration, Lilly Pulitzer. I hear this print was inspired by a dinner party the print team had at Lilly’s home, and has all the designers doing assorted stuffs in it. Fun! Check out that monkey picture ~ [...]

Photo Shoot > Wall Art Sass

On May 17, 2011 · In surface design

Wooo check me out. I did a little photo shoot session with a good photographer friend of mine, the wonderful Portraiteur, Jessica Kaminski. I can never have just a normal face when I’m in front of a camera. I always need to add a little bit of sass. The wall art is Playful Paisley, a [...]

pattern inspiration > abstract floral

On April 20, 2011 · In fashion, inspiration, surface design

I trend shop almost daily and snap-up inspiration for new collections. Here’s a few of the floral patterns that called to me. I especially love this last one. Wish I would have gotten a better shot.

designing through my funk

On February 25, 2011 · In surface design

I’m not sure if I’m feeling the end-of-winter blues or what but the past few days have felt morbid to me. I decided to work through it by designing what I’m feeling and where I’d like to be, emotionally.  I wanted to keep it simple and get back to basics ~ pop-like florals to contrast [...]

new work ~ disco-inspired cuteness

On February 17, 2011 · In fashion, surface design

“last night a hoop saved my life” Here’s my latest work on shirty shirts for hoop dancers. I’m digging the disco vibe, actually. It’s retro and kitsch and glittery and, WELL, just fantastical fun. Without glitter in my life, I think I’d be next to death. This statement is pretty true for me, although melodramatically [...]
