Stories is a collection shaped by the places and moments that stay with you. These patterns draw from my childhood in southwestern Wisconsin, from the years I spent moving between New York City and San Diego, and from the small experiences that made unfamiliar spaces feel close. Each design carries a piece of something I lived through, whether it was a coastal walk, a train ride, a quiet field, or a town filled with its own history. The Stories collection is simple and intentional, and it is rooted in the kind of lived experience that makes a pattern feel honest. These designs are meant to settle naturally into a space and add warmth, character, and a gentle sense of connection.
St. Ives is inspired by a high school exchange I took while living in Mineral Point, through our sister school in Redruth. During that trip I visited St Ives, stepped inside St Senara Church, and stood at Land's End on a day of fierce winds. It was the kind of experience that felt suspended in history and completely alive at the same time. St. Ives carries a bit of that feeling forward.
All swatches (4x4x4”) featured in the Stories collection are designed to give you a tangible introduction to each pattern’s rhythm and presence. While samples are available for purchase, all full applications are developed thoughtfully and in partnership with Sarah to ensure the scale, material, and colorway align beautifully with your space.
To bring Stories into your project, we welcome you to connect directly and begin designing with intention.
