Devan

I named this design Devan for a very nice journalist I met at an art exhibition opening here in NYC. I'd never heard the name before but somehow it just suited the design I was working on. I love the way the green chrysanthemums and ferns convey movement and the color palette is very 'me'.

Black is the Ultimate Neutral

I love black! I go beyond the little black dress! I have black accents in my home that I think give it a contemporary feel but also make it cosy. An interior decorator advised not to be afraid of black. It is the ultimate neutral. She was right. So extending my own passion for the neutral into my work, here are a few product ideas from my design called Alexa. Apple blossom and lavender give a soft edge to this contemporary design.

Presentation Mood Boards

For each design I create mood boards. These help me stick to my chosen theme which is usually centered around color trends and icons seen first in the fashion industry. I keep in touch with fashion and interior magazines and blogs to stay up to date with the trends. With these in mind, I like to infuse my work with my own design style that will have a longer shelf life in a more classic sense....not just be in fashion for a brief period of time. The Anya design below shows a typical mood board with some of the images that inspired me, yet keeping the design very much in my own style.

Decorative Designs for Paper Products

Eloisa was named for my new baby Goddaughter who lives with her family in London. I'm blessed with three Godchildren and two nephews so I have plenty of children to spoil! This design lends itself to companies looking for a more traditional floral look to suit their customer base. Borders and matching patterns make it suitable for scrapbooks, gift boxes, journals, writing paper, notecards etc. I can create coordinating pieces for any of my designs.
