I have been a professional organic gardener and landscape designer for more than 35 years. I have also been designing and creating jewelry since I was about 12 years old. To keep myself sane through the pandemic, I turned a hobby of sewing into a bespoke clothing company called Pollinate Panoply; this has now morphed into designing patterns for fabric, paper, and any surface that could benefit from decoration.  Now I get to create clothing with my own fabric designs! An intimate knowledge, and love, of Nature guides all of my design work. 

As a designer, one can never stand still. To really grow, we have to try new things and stretch beyond comfort zones. I am, by nature, an introvert. This made me a great gardener as I could spend all day alone in the garden, listening to the birds sing and the flowers grow. Just like the caterpillars on the milkweeds in my garden, it is time to transform and grow wings. This website is my cocoon. I am excited to keep developing and maturing as a designer and to share that journey with those of you who resonate with my designs. I look forward to hearing from you about what you like, and ideas you might have for designs you would like to have made, custom for you!
