Designing with Heart

Creative Corner - June

Hello Reader,

Summer is here! May flew by, so this newsletter is to catch up and provide a tip for you!

  1. Successful Creative Collaboration - Complete
  2. A photography tip for you!
  3. A new collaboration
  4. An Artist Summit - You Won’t Want to Miss! FREE!

Design is never just about photography, fabric, wallpaper, or patterns—it’s about connection. It’s about weaving stories, honoring memories, and creating beauty that feels personal. Over the past few months, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with talented interior designers and fellow creatives, and I can’t wait to share some behind-the-scenes inspiration with you.

1. A Story-Woven Space: Collaborating with Interior Designers

One of the most fulfilling parts of my work is partnering with interior designers to help bring their clients’ visions to life. Most recently, I worked with Regina Kindleberger of Over the Top Creations, who came to me with a unique request: to capture the spirit of Austria in her client’s piano room and office with photography of the beautiful memories of the homeowners travels. I was able to use Colorchrome in Atlanta to print a wall mural 12' x 8' it is incredible. We also created a large format canvas for her office

The video below is the result that the homeowner loves!

I also crafted a custom distressed diamond pattern for the breakfast area—a design that brought depth and a sense of peacefulness to the space. For the half bath, she chose my Queen Anne’s Lace in soft blue, a delicate botanical that added the perfect serene touch.

The result? A home filled with stories, intention, and charm!

2. Photo Tip Download!

Have you ever considered turning your photography into a stunning large-scale art piece? One of my favorite ways to showcase a meaningful image is by transforming it into a canvas or wall mural. Whether it’s a floral close-up, a dreamy landscape, or an abstract texture, your own photos can make a bold and personal statement in any room.

I am providing a free download that include directions for Turning Your Photographs into large prints or wall murals!

3. A New Collaboration with Kindly Woven

I'm also thrilled to be working on a brand-new project with Kindly Woven, a wonderful studio helping me bring one of my custom designs to life as a woven fabric for drapery in a homeowner's dinning room. This is a true fusion of tradition and innovation—using high-quality woven textiles to tell a personal design story. It’s in development now, and I’ll share more sneak peeks soon!

February 24, 2026 Reader Hi friends, In my last newsletter, I shared five unexpected moments from 2025 — and one of them was selling full rights to six of my designs to a home décor company. A few of you replied and asked if I would expand on that decision. So today, I am going to share the experience from how this came about to doing this thing even though I was scared! The opportunity came from attending High Point Market in North Carolina. This show is huge, the reason I wanted to attend...

January 6, 2026 Reader It is 2026 and I am ready to enter into this year with a hopeful attitude! As I look back on this past year, I’m struck by how many beautiful opportunities unfolded that I never could have predicted. They came from showing up, doing the work, and staying open. I hope you do not mind me sharing five things I truly did not see coming in 2025 — and what they reminded me about creative business, faith, and growth. 1.Licensing children’s bedding designs I never imagined...

Hello Reader, I’m thrilled to share a very special project currently unfolding in my studio — "a custom woven fabric", created in collaboration with Kindly Woven, inspired by my client’s roots in beautiful New Orleans. At the center of the design is the beloved fleur-de-lis — but reimagined as a true flower, blooming in an elegant art nouveau style. Rather than staying in its traditional, flat form, this motif now flows with natural movement and grace — just like the spirit of the city it...
