My designs emerge from my surroundings and I’m often using nature’s architecture, textures, and colors to develop patterns that are incorporated into designs.  Always dabbling with new art forms and media, I bring a fresh approach to bookbinding via integration of techniques and methods across media.  This experimentation often takes form as captivating designs along the spine and cover – making these journals unique in the world of books.  While open spines are a trademark feature of Coptic stitching, my distinctive spine patterns are of my own creation, integrating my interest in math and science to vary the original form into a functional aesthetic piece.
