Outside of work, I like to continue praticing my hands-on studio skills with illustrating and crafting. For the past few years, I have been working on learning surface design and pattern-making for fabric. I'll first work on the individual illustrations. These are created either through pen and paper sketches or through a digital watercolor technique on the iPad. Then I create a seamless 10" x 10" pattern by combining the different illustrations together into one composition. I'm always excited to see how the pattern translates from the digital space onto the physical fabrics.
