“Being a good Pattern Maker is an art form.  Every line must be strategically placed and shapes formed like a sculpture. Construction methods must also be strongly considered for optimum visual impact and ease through production.  I have a very special relationship with each of my customers. I sincerely want to help them grow and realize their dreams. Therefore I carefully execute their product and make it the best it can be.  Being their Pattern Maker is only the beginning! ”
