painting = meditation
You’ll see influences from the natural world in all of my designs. I value making design choices that honor wellness and the environment. To further those principles, I teach interior design students at the New York School of Interior Design how to make sustainable choices for clients.

Me and pattern design: made for each other!
Hello! I’m Janet.
I’m a Textile Designer, creating vector and hand painted art for textiles and surfaces, working on customer projects since 2004.
Bringing beautiful art and design to products is a gift I get to give my customers. Their exuberance is a gift right back to me. Painting is a form of meditation, quiet and thoughtful. Creating patterns is joyful and playful, I could go on all day. It’s my best thing. I love to develop different color options my customers will adore (there’s always a blue), and see their projects unfold with delight.
My passion for both the artistic and the technical aspects of design comes from growing up along the banks of a creek in Eastern Pennsylvania, wading among the ducks, and seeing patterns in the watery depths, rock formations, and sky above. I loved the chaos and structure of nature, and first pursued the sciences in college. Later, I earned an M.S. in Textiles from Philadelphia University, applying my love of science to texture, pattern, technology, and art.
I’ve got the best friend a girl could have!
