I’ve been thinking about doing a brand refresh for a while now. I wrote a whole post about this logo, font, and the colors I chose in 2015! That’s 11 years since I’ve updated it. You can see the 2015 version on the left and my updated version on the right. The washed-out-orange and too-bright-green from that previous version were just starting to bother me. In fact, I avoided using them on my website and other things because they just didn’t really feel like they were right any more.

The aqua color stayed exactly the same, but I tweaked the other three colors to make them colors that feel more like “me” in 2026. It’s kind of a subtle change because those four basic colors are still my favorites and still feel like the go-to colors for everything that I do. I struggled a little with the goldfish because that looks really different to me, but I think it’s because I’ve been looking at that other color combination for 11 years. I’m hoping because everything is essentially just a tweak that I can just use up everything like business cards with the old logo and reprint with the new one.

If you look around a bit, you’ll also see that the banner changed and I rearranged a lot of things on the landing page. I wanted to make a little more white space and be able to find a better way of introducing everything I do here instead of just jumping right into the blog. I wanted it to look a little more playful. I spent a couple of hours writing a new intro which I hope captures more about what I do and why, rather than just giving a list of credentials.

I’m an artist who explores ideas through paper, fiber, pattern, and technology. My favorite projects usually start with curiosity and end somewhere I wasn’t expecting. I enjoy exploring new techniques, combining ideas from unexpected places, and seeing what happens when I follow a question instead of a plan.

I share that process through my artwork, writing, and teaching because I think creativity is more fun when it’s shared. I believe that seeing the whole creative process—the experiments, the successes, the failures, the art, the business, and everything in between—makes makes trying something new feel a little more possible.

Curiosity is contagious. I hope you find something here that inspires you to follow your own.

My husband also helped me take a new updated studio shot today. Olive put herself in the photo and I think it’s just perfect. In a lot of my intros and bios that I use when I am teaching, I talk about working in a “micro-studio” and I love to have a shot where you can see what that really means.
