About me

Hi I'm Teresa, a leading designer/illustrator of patterns for large retailers, manufactures, and exclusive boutique brands, with patterns licensed across the globe for use in fashion, home goods, wallpaper, gift-wrapping, stationery, print and textiles.

My passion for design began as a young child, sitting hours at a time in my grandfather's tailoring business in San Francisco. I was mesmerized by the beautifully patterned fabrics as he worked tirelessly. The relationship between the images and the patterns they formed was magic, a language I could fully express myself with.

Creating commercial patterns that are produced as physical products is my passion. I love conceiving patterns from imagination and working with great brands to bring them into reality. Each day, an important part of my life is entering into my studio, connecting with my inspiration, and producing patterns that people enjoy having in their life.

I'm available and excited to work with brands that align with my work. I look forward to collaborating.
