Lilacs.  I grew up with lilac bushes growing along our fence and under my bedroom window.  Lilacs are my favorite sent and the official sign of Spring for me.

My favorite hobby

I'm a designer who loves creating digital artwork with repeating patterns for all kinds of products. Flowers are my main inspiration, and I'm lucky enough to have my garden to draw from. My love for travel also takes me to gardens and parks worldwide for even more inspiration. If you want to see some of my work, check out my portfolio here!

I love gardening as it allows me to connect with nature and beautify my home with vibrant colors. Although I've always longed for a bigger backyard, my suburban Chicago location limits my yard size.  However, I have discovered ways to make the most out of every inch and have grown fond of square-foot companion gardening and incorporating cut flowers with my veggies.
