Hi, I'm Charla!
​
​
I'm a surface designer, published illustrator, and illustration professor with over thirteen years of industry experience designing for print and pattern. I graduated magna cum laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I studied illustration and earned a B.F.A. and M.A. in Visual Communication.
I have created artwork for magazines, product packaging, floor coverings, fabric, gift wrap, and greeting cards, as well as children's activities and books. I also have experience in art direction and project management. Repeat patterns are my passion!

When I'm not drawing, I enjoy coffee, cuddling with my two cats, making jewelry, traveling, ​and stargazing in my backyard.
