A word on sustainability:

Sustainability isn’t just a buzz word–it’s part of how I create! Making sustainable choices is an ongoing journey and I’m always looking for ways to create with care.

Whenever possible, I use recycled, remnant, or dead-stock materials, and I hang onto scraps for future projects instead of tossing them. Anything that can’t be reused is disposed of responsibly. Some of my products are made via Print-on-Demand, which helps reduce waste by producing only what’s ordered.
