About

I founded The Northern Market when I was 15 years old. I enjoy the meditative process of sewing, but only if I’m sewing something that has a true purpose. NM vessels are not made to be used once or twice or simply hung on a wall. They are made to be functional, purposeful and last a lifetime.

Baskets can be made of many materials, but choosing cotton as my medium has provided a blank canvas of possibilities in form, color and function. Our cotton rope is spun from recycled cotton. For color, rope is stitched with colored thread or is hand-dyed by Eco Raw Studio in Cincinnati.

I have a BS from the University of Cincinnati in Environmental Sciences. Currently, I live and work in Cincinnati, OH.
