Carolina on My Mind: A Love Letter to the Lowcountry

Carolina on My Mind: A Love Letter to the Lowcountry

When I first moved from Virginia to Charleston nearly 20 years ago, I was captivated by the coast and the charm of seaside living. The Lowcountry’s beauty, culture, and history inspired me to create my very first collection of textiles and wallcoverings: the Charleston Collection, released to the trade in 2018. This collection holds a special place in my heart, as it represents the very beginning of my journey as a designer and my deep connection to this beloved region

The Charleston Collection is my love letter to Charleston and the Lowcountry, celebrating its storied past, timeless appeal, and natural beauty. Each pattern tells its own story, drawing inspiration from the rich textures, landscapes, and traditions of this coastal paradise.
