My eye is my most powerful talent.

Confessing to be an artist is something. It is something I have had to grow into. I always knew I had an eye, but in my mind this meant that I was just intuitively able to differentiate things for myself. I never knew that my eye was representative of the artist in me. It was a part of me crying out for release. 

The eye is a powerful tool for the artist. It beckons the soul in passing. Color, texture, quality, symmetry, detail, hardness, contrast, age; All of these speak to the eye. 

The glory of Gumbo....
When I put together the perfect gumbo bowl, I knew I had to have the Perfect Gumbo Brand. Producing the cookbook for author Deanie Bahan felt natural.

My first design...
A Fleur-de-lis tree topper. The production was terrible. But we sold out of the limited order. I can't wait to reinvent this favorite. 

Design

Last year was, markedly, a milestone for me. I designed a book about the world's most enduring symbol. The power and resonance of this symbol dealt me critical blows. I am still recovering. I'm not done, however. I'll continue to chase the Fleur for many more years. If it lands me in Egypt. So be it.
A fun AfterEffects experience.

2015 Print Design

Launching a home decor company isn't easy. It takes thought. It takes artistry. I crafted our look around our most powerful spiritual tool. The "name." With divine help, this was a tremendous success.

SPRING 2016

I had a blast designing the Roux Collection for Spring 2016. I was enchanted by swamp water and marker scripts. The idea of letters and stories thrilled me. I love the literal/conceptual distinction. Watch the promo video below for the full story.

​Here is a glimpse from our spring look. The backdrop I designed was a real stunner. The sofa made so much sense. Pair this elegance with the sexy line of jewelry I collected for Spring, and you have a look that is hard to resist.
