meet the team: cj & Oakley Joe

While I’m the one designing the patterns, I’m not exactly flying solo over here.

CJ is my husband and tech help when I’m too frustrated to Google or ask ChatGPT again. He may not fully get why I need so many pinks and bows, but he’s patient, supportive in his own way, and always willing to jump in when I need help. He’s especially great at the business side of things, which I truly appreciate because I’d much rather be drawing.

Oakley Joe is our Yorkie, emotional support animal, and the real boss around here. He’s happiest snuggled under a cozy blanket on the couch while I draw and binge reality shows or old-school game shows. He’s tiny, moody, and has perfected the art of being cute and completely unbothered.

One keeps me on track and fueled with snacks, the other keeps my lap warm. Both are essential.
