Two stories, curated
into one pattern.
I spent years as a museum exhibit designer and curator — taking mountains of history, artifacts, and archives and shaping them into a single exhibit visitors could understand at a glance.
Now I bring that same eye to something more personal:
your story, distilled into a pattern.
Begin a bespoke pattern commission.
From a first conversation to a
pattern you'll cherish.
How your pattern takes physical form.
I. SHARE YOUR STORY
A meeting, in person or online, where we talk through the place, people, history, or memory you want the pattern to hold.
1.5 – 2 hours
II. RESEARCH, SYNTHESIS & DESIGN
Exhibit-style research into genealogy, place, and symbolism — including the unusual discoveries that give your pattern its distinctive depth — synthesized into one original, seamless design.
Researched & hand-developed
III. RECEIVE YOUR PATTERN
A print-ready digital pattern, delivered with a written companion piece describing the themes, symbols, and historical or cultural references that shaped your design.
Print-ready file + companion document
IV. CONSIDER THE OPTIONS
Decide how you want to bring your pattern into the world — a small book, a framed artwork, a bound keepsake volume, or a tattoo-ready design.
Pricing varies by format — see below
HOW IT WORKS
Working with couples, I weave two histories — two families, two places, two sets of traditions — into one original design.
Along the way, I dig for the unusual: the historical reference, the forgotten detail, the thread that ties your stories together in a way you hadn't quite seen before.
What you receive isn't just a pattern — it's a piece of curated, researched design, with the story and inspiration documented for you to keep.
