After collecting the materials, everything is laid out on a barn wood table in my NE Portland home studio with a focus on texture, pattern and durability. With a cup of tea in hand, I analyze and re-organize the materials to produce a comforting collection of handcrafted goods for each season. After the designs are cut and assembled, zippers are hand-placed and sewn in, and each pillow is stuffed to perfection. Naturally, it takes extra time to make sure each piece is thoughtfully made and that all details are inspected by hand.
