It all started when…

The purpose and foundation behind the creation of svanodesign begins with the development of a series of self-published coloring books. This enables me to create a world of fantasy and relieve people of the stress they face in life. Leading university studies prove that coloring helps relieve stress and I want to lead in the charge of stress reduction. Creating creatures and habitats from other places, allows me to escape from every day stress. Exploring coloring therapy, I began a journey to create books that continues to inspire and help. 

Collaboration is gratifying and humbling to me. Strength is in numbers and there is nothing more gratifying than working towards something with others. It allows me to pursue my passion, support the passions of others and cultivate an inventive creative process. It also brings individuals together, as a collective, testing the limitations of our own imaginations

Currently, I’m establishing my brand in Pittsburgh, PA.. The Mount Washington Area is a fantastic place to vendor and create new projects. I’m collaborating with local artists and getting involved with the local scene. Look for my vending booth throughout the seasons in and around Pittsburgh. Coloring books, original illustrations and art prints will be available.
