A petite black cat with bright green eyes and a white spot on her chest sits in a cardboard box and looks up at the camera.
A floofy grey tabby cat with green eyes passive aggressively sits on top of a Pantone color swatch book on her human’s desk, sporting a toothy smug face.
A small white kitten with calico spots is perched on the frame of a window, balanced impossibly in the center of the two panes.
A digital mockup of a fabric design swatch featuring a pomegranate damask floral design in maroon hues.
In this video a white woman with purple hair and dry skin (she has Ichthyosis) holds up her iPad screen to the camera to show off a sketch. She then turns in her computer chair to reveal the nearly completed fabric design on her computer. The design features pomegranates and vintage inspired botanicals arranged in a damask repeat.

A collection of artisan-made brooms in various sizes, displayed as a permanent art installation on the wall.
A top down view of my lap covered in a cozy fleece cat blanket, topped with a real cat, topped with a knitting project still on the needles.
A digital mockup of an art print depicting the silhouette of a Victorian era witch holding potted plants. The artwork style is inspired by antique papercut silhouettes, shown on a photographic background.
