I'm the designer, illustrator, and owner of Shorty Life
Papers Prints and Patterns. After more than a decade
working in the design and advertising industry and
later running my own freelance studio, I felt pulled to
create something more personal. I wanted to build a
brand centered on color, creativity, and
meaningful everyday moments.

I created Shorty Life to bring a little joy to
the everyday. Life is full of ordinary, in-between days,
and I love finding ways to make them brighter.
My colorful often miniature products are made to
add small sparks of happiness, with tiny details,
playful color, and little reminders to notice and
enjoy the moments that fill most of our days.
