I’m a surface pattern designer and lifelong maker based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I've been creating for as long as I can remember. Whether I was making jewelry, sewing bags, building furniture, tackling DIY projects, or helping my family renovate homes, I've always loved working with my hands and figuring out how things come together. During the pandemic, I finally opened my Etsy jewelry shop, but my curiosity kept leading me to explore new creative outlets and learn new skills.

Discovering surface pattern design felt like everything clicked into place. It combines my love of drawing, storytelling, color, and creating thoughtful designs inspired by the places and experiences that have shaped my life. From childhood summers on a working ranch in Montana to my daily walks through neighborhood streets, quiet parks, and my local rose garden, I find inspiration in the textures, colors, and small details that often go unnoticed.

Before becoming a surface pattern designer, I spent many years in hospitality, where I learned the value of creating meaningful experiences and paying attention to the details. Today, I bring that same thoughtfulness to every collection I create, with the hope that my designs bring warmth, beauty, and a sense of connection to everyday spaces.

Curiosity has always been at the heart of everything I create. Whether I'm learning a new skill or developing a new collection, I love the process of turning ideas into something meaningful that people can enjoy.

Looking forward to what’s next,

Lauren
