Hi, I’m Janie.  As a textile designer, I’m constantly inspired by color, pattern and texture in the world around me. I earned an MFA in Textile Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2006 and a BFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002. I’ve worked in the Textile Industry for over 12 years, specializing in wovens and prints for contract and residential markets. I currently live in North Carolina, where I work as an assistant professor at the Wilson College of Textiles at North Carolina State University.
