About me


A career break gave me with the opportunity to focus on my hobbies and adopt a little dog, leading me to create a new handmade business. With Oxford Dogma I get to combine many of my passions: pets + learning + design + making. I celebrate the intentional, structured, and methodical. Cute animals, nature, books, and chocolate + p.b. make me happy.

I've been sketching tons of Dachshunds for a project I'm working on and so far this one makes me the happiest 😁It's always nice to end the work day on a high note! I love to watch this guy snooze ❤️ What do you imagine your fur baby dreams of? When Pipsqueak leaves these hedgehog toys in matching positions 😍 It's so cool to see how far these pups have come. They were rescued from a house with 70 dogs and were very nervous a few weeks ago. But they're getting lots of love at @lostourhome and now they're much happier and more confident! Taco and Nacho are available for adoption, and also their brothers Chalupa and Taquito ❤️🐶 Not just a pile of fabric scraps... progress! #maker #handmadewithlove #sew It's been a busy week of making. And now it's time for a snuggle break ❤️🐶
Daily pattern swatches that I'm making for #the100dayproject: days 1-16. #patternaday #penandink #watercolor #gouache #sketchbook Thank you @mbalkon for helping make my office a tranquil place to work ❤️ The scent is reminding me of my Strawberry Shortcake toys from when I was a kid which I love! Hanging out with some old friends. #pantone #designerlife My latest @becraftsy class got a lot more complex than the landscapes class! @sharisketcher shares an excellent tip to slightly change the color as you paint across an area for interest. Sometimes it's a little cooler or warmer, darker or lighter. My #Craftsy class project for the Sketching Landscapes in Pen, Ink & Watercolor course with @sharisketcher is rather dark in the midtones, and I'm still working on leaving more white areas. But what a great project to go through from start to finish! I sorta thought I could learn it just by watching the class...um not so much. I continually learn the lesson that actually DOING the thing is what makes progress. ⠀ ⠀ #sketch #watercolor #inkandwatercolor #stillmanandbirn #betasketchbook #escodaversatil #danielsmith Experimenting with a tall and narrow format in this sketchbook spread. The designer in me likes to have constraints, even self-imposed ones 😛
