Making · Teaching · Building

I’m an artist and maker working primarily with fiber and textiles.

I draw inspiration from nature, folk art, pop culture, and memory. My work has been recognized in both my native Pennsylvania and Texas, where I spent many years exploring fiber, textiles, and other forms of making.

I now live in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where my studio overlooks the Susquehanna River and the mountains beyond.

I teach weaving and other fiber arts to new and returning artists.

I offer private instruction and occasional group classes in weaving, felting, and other fiber arts. Whether you’re learning something entirely new, returning to a practice after years away, or building confidence with skills you already have, instruction is relaxed, practical and shaped around where you are.

I’m largely self-taught, so curiosity, experimentation, and finding your own approach are always welcome.

I build websites for artists, makers, and creative businesses.

With more than two decades of experience in marketing, online spaces, and storytelling, I build websites around what makes you (and your work) worth knowing. Rather than fitting your business into a template, I consider the story you need to tell, the people you need to reach, and what you need your website to actually do.

The result is a site that not only looks like you, but also works for you.

Creative Support

CREATIVE & STUDIO SUPPORT

I also work alongside artists and makers on both the creative and practical sides of their work.

Drawing on more than three decades of experience across textiles, interiors, communication, and digital spaces, I can help with:

Creative and material problem-solving
Studio organization and workflow
Loom setup, repair, and restoration
Project planning and hands-on assistance
Fundraising, outreach, and grant application support for makers, artists and arts organizations

I believe creative work and related support should be accessible. I welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experience levels.

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and free of judgment. Creative work can be messy, nonlinear, and deeply personal, and I aim to create an environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and working through uncertainty without pressure or pretension.

In addition to textiles and fiber arts, I bring experience in business formation, brand identity, SEO, ecommerce, online content, interior design, and creative organization. I enjoy helping artists and small creative businesses shape spaces, systems, and online presences that feel cohesive, functional, and true to their work.
Projects vary widely and may include weaving and fiber arts instruction, loom repair and restoration, studio organization, website design, SEO, online shops, and collaborative creative support for artists and makers.
Both. Some projects are best approached in person, while website work, consultations, and certain forms of creative support can be handled remotely.
Website projects vary widely in scope and are quoted individually. Simpler, single page portfolio or informational sites may begin around $350, while larger ecommerce or more customized projects can range upwards of $5,000. Some services are billed hourly, while others are structured as flat-rate projects.

Smaller projects, consultations, and collaborative support are welcome. I recognize that artists are not equally resourced and will do my best to work with your budget.
Usually with a conversation. Some clients need a single session or specific service, while others are looking for more ongoing collaboration and support.
I currently offer beginner lessons in weaving on a variety of looms, and instruction on wet and needle felting.
I primarily work with floor and table looms, including new and vintage models, and specialize in bandweaving with inkle and backstrap looms.

Local and regional loom repair or restoration projects are considered individually.
Projects vary depending on scope, location, and whether the work is ongoing or focused on a single session.
Most one-on-one support begins at $55/hour, with reduced rates available for longer sessions or ongoing work. Some projects are quoted individually.
