About

I'm a designer based in Madrid, New Mexico. I design geometric and organic patterns, and I see them through to fabrication in metal, wood, and printed materials — whatever the final piece requires.

The geometric work is built from fundamental tiles that repeat across a plane by precise mathematical rules. The traditions behind it run deep — Islamic geometric design, Japanese kumiko, Celtic interlace, Art Deco, Gothic tracery — but every design is original.

Organic patterns come from a different place. I write simulations that model natural processes — the same mathematics that drives animal markings and crystal growth. Spots, stripes, labyrinths, branching structures: all generated, all precise, all difficult to draw by hand.

This work sits inside a longer conversation about pattern as serious art. In the 1970s, the artists of the Pattern and Decoration movement — many of them women reclaiming quilting, tilework, and textile from the margins — argued that ornament belongs in the front rank of the fine arts. I see mine as part of that lineage: decorative and rigorous at once, refusing to choose between beauty and structure.

I apply these patterns to jewelry, textiles, architectural surfaces, and public art. Scale doesn't matter — the forms that work as a brass pendant will also work as a building facade.

The same patience that fills a pendant fills a panel.

Since 2025 I've been working as a designer for a design/build firm, focusing on exhibit design projects including the Route 66 Visitor Center for the City of Albuquerque.
