About

Hi, I’m Tabitha! I’m an artist and surface pattern designer based in Toronto, Canada.

I studied graphic design at York University and Sheridan College from 2009-2012, and graduated from Bonnie Christine’s Immersion program in 2025.

I love exploring colour, texture, and storytelling to create work that feels joyful and inviting.

If you appreciate hand-drawn charm and playful, whimsical details like I do, I would love to work with you!
