I'm a 2022 Spoonflower Ambassador!

SO excited to announce that I am a 2022 Spoonflower ambassador!

Spoonflower and I have a long working relationship. I met them at a trade show back in 2013 and started a shop on their site of my designs. Since then I began to work with them by writing articles for their blog, was featured on their site several times and have taught for them in a live Instagram workshop on their channel and for their Craft Friday event. They are an amazing company with fantastic products for interior designers, crafters and sewing and pattern design enthusiasts and make great products for those wanting unique wallpaper and home decor items to decorate with. I will make appearances, create content, create fabric designs and more for Spoonflower this year.

I am among a group of incredible creatives who are also making great content and speaking on behalf of Spoonflower. Check out the other ambassadors and learn more about them here.

To kick off the year, I will be teaching at the upcoming Craftcation conference in Ventura teaching a surface design workshop. Stay tuned this year for my upcoming Spoonflower content and announcements!

Join me on Spoonflower's "Craft Friday"

I love teaching design tips that I have developed and think can help others. I was excited when Spoonflower asked me to collab again and make a tutorial for their “Craft Friday” (Black Friday) extravaganza. The holidays are about togetherness and crafting together is a great way to spend the holiday weekend. All day 11/27 they are featuring tutorials starting at 8am EST on their Instagram IGTV channel. Replays will be up on the channel for you to watch anytime!

Learn how to sew scrunchies and pouches, make a holiday neck gaiter or fun ornaments, paint leaves and so much more! Go here to read more about it and see the line-up of instructors!


I will be teaching how I make digital moodboards to inform my pattern designs. I collect imagery that helps me brainstorm and pull together my ideas into a cohesive moodboard. This moodboard is used to design my pattern or pattern collection. Using Pinterest, gathered materials, Illustrator (or Word) and your printer, you can create these boards easily.

Watch my tutorial below or watch here. Check out all the other amazing tutorials on Spoonflower’s IGTV channel!

Designing for products with Spoonflower

I’m excited to partner with Spoonflower.com to write an article on the importance of scale in your patterns when designing. In the products I design such as apparel and home decor, I often have to adjust the scale of the pattern to convey a specific look and feel and make it appropriate for the product and end use. Using Spoonflower’s fabulous products such as wallpaper, giftwrap and placemats I show you how scaling the pattern up and down can create a different mood and tone and even compliment a room.
