Finding Inspiration Everywhere

It was during my second "real" job as a junior designer for Calvin Klein that I learned to see inspiration in everything around me. It's something that is so much a part of me now. I had always been really observant, but I learned to store memories of textures, pattern, colors, etc. for future design projects.

Last month, I went on vacation to the Caribbean with my husband's family. Coming from the barren winter in New York, it was so nice to see lush plants and flowers again! There is a lot of glitz and glamour on St.
Barths, but I was drawn more to the simple beauty -- both man-made and natural.

Here are a few inspiring things I saw on my trip:

1

Looking up at beams, that remind me of Scandinavian woodwork

2

Decorative trim and bold color choices

3

Seeing future textile patterns everywhere...
