Since 2018, I have lead a team at Target that is focused on developing a collection of products as a collaboration with Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia brand. PIctured are products I’ve designed for the Hearth and Hand brand.
From 2014-2018, with the partnership of a peer engineer, I developed a line of art and craft supplies in collaboration with Todd Oldham: Hand Made Modern for Target.
In 2008, I moved to Portland OR with 2 great friends, found studio space in a metal shop and began making. The crosbie became a successful teaching studio, and physical and online shop: we collaboratively created and sold home decor items, stationery, and jewelry.
From 2007-2012, I joined Tivi (this is very important,) a design project with 2 friends from grad school at SCAD. Together we designed, sourced and sold a line of personal accessories and even designed a few restaurants.
From 2005-2008, I was the co-director of Working Class Studio, a product development program that operated within the Savannah College of Art and Design. Students enrolled in a quarter-long internship and served as designers within the fully functioning studio-product ideas were prototyped, often using screen printing as the medium. Eventually, products were selected for mass production, marketed at trade shows, and then finally sold to retailers throughout the US.

From 2009-2011, I designed rugs at Mohawk Home in GA. I created designs for Ikea, Kohls, Home Depot, and other major retailers. The bright floral rug, named Cora for my grandmother, was Kohl’s top selling rug for most of 2010.
