Some People is a collection of patterns celebrating inclusion. With images of diverse folks standing shoulder to shoulder, the message is clear: We’re all in this together.
Everyone is invited to the party: women, men, non-binary, people of color, young, old, and the LGBTQ community.
Some People prints are striking and versatile. They look great on clothing, bedding, home decor, and stationery. The goal is for everyone to see themselves (and their tribes) represented on product surfaces.

In 2009, I interned as a Product Designer at Jonathan Adler, working directly with Jonathan himself. Over four brief — but very fun — months in New York, I saw a dozen of my designs go into production. The most popular design was the Futura Seder Plate, which is still in production in 2018.
For six years, I designed tile for Walker Zanger, a leader in the stone and tile industry. Although tile may seem like a product category with limited design opportunities, I was able to produce work that was quite expressive and innovative. Two of my collections won design awards within the kitchen and bath industry, and several of my collections became top sellers. More importantly, my work helped Walker Zanger develop a more modern brand image.
My illustration style is retro and optimistic, with an emphasis on representation. My focus is primarily surface design.
As a product designer and a consumer myself, I understand how compelling the right pattern can be. A great pattern isn’t merely cute — it elicits an emotional response. As a surface designer, I am always trying to hit that sweet spot, where the product and pattern combined are irresistible.
Whenever possible, I try to take this a step further and also tell a story. My goal is to create colorful, friendly, unique artwork that communicates a message of inclusion.
I am very interested in collaborations and licensing opportunities. If you are a client and would like to see my artwork in more detail, please click the Licensing tab and contact me for the password.
