I'm passionate about quality, which means for me, working with full focus. I believe that good design lasts while trends come and go. Watercolor and block-prints are my favourite techniques - across various genres (florals, geometrics, medallions, paisleys, etc.) I feel comfortable moving within a wide range of different styles and mediums which offers my clients a flexible approach to design. I'm grateful to have been able to train at two of the best studios in the field, and to have met many wonderful professionals along the way.
