SKETCHES

I’ve always been drawn to the quiet promise of a blank surface—paper, canvas, screen or even the walls of my home. Creating something from nothing has been the through-line of my life and my work.

Right now, my design roots and my love of history are merging. I’ve begun sketching historic buildings, studying the lives they’ve lived—the grit, the glory—and loving every minute of it. Buildings hold so many stories, especially the ones that have stood for generations.

In 2026, I’m committing to sketching 100 buildings and I’ll be sharing the process and the finished pieces. Follow me one sketch, one brush stroke, one pixel at a time on Substack and Instagram.

A PERFECT GIFT, one they will never expect (or forget)
– Homes: first homes, new homes, childhood homes, or vacation houses
– Wedding venues & churches: where vows were exchanged
– Favorite restaurants or cafés: first dates, anniversaries, or longtime traditions
– Family homesteads & heritage properties: honoring history and roots
– Schools & universities: celebrating milestones and achievements
– Historic or beloved local buildings: meaningful places in a community

Each piece is line drawn, color can be added, and then printed on a thick, tactile, premium paper and shipped directly to you. Perfect for framing as a lasting heirloom, celebrating the architecture and the memories within it.
