A memoir for and about my moms last year of life.

I miss her dearly, I miss arguing with her, her voice, and her aura. 

Grief is dynamic, and stinging.

She would come to me in a dream at my door, with a hug, following tears earlier that day. 

Nothing has changed, she reminds me. Except everything has changed.

My perspective is from designing wallpaper. It’s been a few decades since I installed wallpaper but as my first design job, it was the foundation for my relationship with home decor. Here I highlight some ways that wallpaper is used, where to buy and FAQ’s.

Starting my business wasn't only about a love of florals and other pretty designs. It was also about making room for motherhood.

Meet Gwen. She's helping me behind the scenes with design proofing, formatting, editorial projects, and hopefully much more! Gwen and I have crossed paths many times.

I discuss some of the aspects that I feel have most greatly impacted my ability to create a flourishing art licensing business.
