a bit more about
my story:
I’ve always been a creative at heart—it just has to come out one way or another. Though I originally earned a degree in business, it didn’t take long for me to follow my true passion. I returned to school to study Interior Design and spent several years working in residential design on the North Shore of Chicago.
It was there I met and married my husband, and we started our family with three beautiful daughters. Motherhood led me to pivot once again—this time working from home and exploring the handmade world of Etsy. I launched Sugar Creek Bedding and Sugar Creek Kids, designing children’s bedding and little girls’ dresses. That journey eventually evolved into painting, surface pattern design, and the creation of Bloom Wild Design.
This shop is a natural extension of my love for all things creative. When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me tucked away in a coffee shop, getting my hands dirty in the garden, wandering through antique stores and flea markets, or cooking. I’m passionate about creating art pieces that uplift, encourage, and leave you with a smile. Thanks so much for stopping by—I'm so glad you're here!
