Textile designer and teacher working with fabric, quilts, and learning.
IKIAMO is a space for textile design, quilts, patterns, and learning, shaped through ongoing practice and thoughtful making. The work moves between designing, teaching, and exploring materials, with an emphasis on clarity, process, and long-term creative thinking.
Original textile designs developed for quilting and creative use.
Pattern, color, and structure are always considered together, with attention to how fabric is used, touched, and experienced.
Finished quilts and textile pieces created through hands-on exploration.
These works reflect my approach to composition, materials, and process — from functional quilts to more experimental forms.
Patterns, guides, and learning materials created to support thoughtful making.
They are designed to help makers understand structure, technique, and design decisions — not just follow steps.
I approach textile design as a way of thinking.
Working with fabric, repetition, and stitching allows ideas to develop slowly and with intention.
Quality matters — in materials, in construction, and in teaching.
I value processes that can be understood, shared, and built upon, rather than quick solutions or surface-level trends.
Whether I am designing fabric or teaching a pattern, the goal is the same:
to make learning feel grounded, accessible, and meaningful.
Alongside my design work, I share what I learn through patterns, written guides, and video-based teaching.
These resources are created for makers who want to understand why something works — not just how to complete a project.
Learning is treated as part of the creative practice, not separate from it.
In the journal, I write about process, ideas, and ongoing work.
This is a place for reflection — from early sketches and experiments to thoughts on teaching, design, and making.
You are welcome to explore the work, read, learn, and return at your own pace.
