I've always marvelled at nature's miracles: the warm colours of autumn, the cherry blossoms of early spring, the blanket of quiet after a snowfall. During my childhood and high school years, I found so much peace in painting these scenes, but after years of attending school and working full-time in a handful of journalism and marketing roles, it wasn't long before I began craving creating again. As I filled the pages of my sketchbook in the evenings and on the weekend, I found myself illustrating the seasonal wildflowers and harvests that were blooming throughout the seasons. 

Through this practice, I started to absorb the lessons of slowness, balance, and growth that nature had always been trying to teach me — all while reopening the doors to an artistic way of living. In late 2019, I opened an online shop and started offering my artwork as prints, stationery, and custom pieces. Along the way, I discovered my love for telling stories through art to help fellow creatives inspire and connect with their audiences. Today, I primarily focus on creating hand-painted illustrations for products, packaging, surface patterns, stationery, gifts, and more. I love collaborating with clients and dreaming together!

Looking back at my journey, I'm so glad that I planted those tiny seeds long ago. The namesake "Poppyseed Paperie" is an ode to this growth: a tribute to the beautiful things that bloom from the tiniest, most unexpected of things.
