A lot of times I don’t know exactly how my artwork for Hallmark will be used, and I love discovering how designers applied my work to product! This Valentine’s Day card for son features a heart pattern from a past collection I worked on. I love the richness of this card, and hope to see it in stores, too!

The perfect card to let someone know you are there for them. Over the past few years I’ve been doing more and more illustration work and I was excited to see my background pattern used on this card! Lettering is by my talented friend Sarah Cole.

Today I found myself extremely inspired by Stella McCartney's Spring 2016 collection. These are just a few pieces that caught my eye, but the whole collection is definitely worth admiring. I don't anticipate that I will find it within my budget to actually purchase any of these pieces, but I am obsessed with the playful patterns and beadwork. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to attend a workshop at Hallmark with artist Ashley Goldberg! Over on the Think.Make.Share. blog you can see an interview with Ashley, as well as some snapshots from the workshop. Hallmark also created a video where she shares some great pattern-making tips. I was even lucky enough to walk away with the cat print pictured in the photo below (via the Think.Make.Share. blog):
Here are a few pictures I took during the workshop. The second image shows some pieces I created during the workshop. If you aren't familiar with Ashley's work I definitely recommend you take a look!
While Marimekko is a brand I have been familiar with for awhile, I just recently started following them on social media. With Fall upon us here in the midwest, I am just in love with the color palette in the Autumn 2014 collection. I also love the mix of patterns. I often find myself wearing multiple patterns at once, and I love to see how brands and individuals alike pair patterns together. I hope you find this collection just as inspiring as I do!
Having spent a great portion of yesterday doing product research, I stumbled upon the lovely website that is Such Great Heights. These kids products are created to nurture creativity and utilize quality materials and design adults will cherish. I know I would have loved playing in my own Wonder Tent as a child. Take a look!
