Bittersweet Sheet Set
Country Door Fall '20

Hazel Quilt
Country Door Fall '20
The top of bed team wanted a fall floral design for a quilt in a panel layout. Though I am skilled in fine art, I picked components from the collection of Shutterstock art they had chosen.

Country Door Fall '21
The furniture team wanted a new side table for Country Door. I created this design using Rhino, incorporating more storage space and adding extra details like the side handle and panels
on top to make it more unique.
