I decided to create my own line of paper, apparel and fashion accessories as a way to express my creativity and style. I am inspired daily by the evolving trends in fashion and design, and felt the need to translate my inspiration into my own ideas.

After graduating with honors from Columbus College of Art & Design in 2003 with a degree in Advertising & Graphic Design, I spent four years as a packaging and accessory designer for Bath & Body Works. My husband and I reside in Columbus, Ohio where I continue to work as a full time graphic designer while beginning to establish Modern Material as an independent designer brand. My vision for this brand is to remain open to emerging ideas instead of focusing on a brand right approach.

Be bold. Be daring. Be different.
