Hi, I’m Trista.

I grew up in the Midwest and started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil. As a teenager, I dreamt of becoming a fashion designer to my favorite musicians. Well that didn’t exactly happen, but that dream led me to pursue a degree in Apparel Design.

After years of working in the industry as a men’s apparel designer, the time had come for a new creative challenge. Luckily, an opportunity opened up for a product and trend design position at a major retailer. This pivot in my career allowed me to blend my love of pattern, color, trend, and design together in one.

Outside of designing and crafting, I enjoy astrology and tarot, cuddle time with my cats, low key nights with friends, and long hangs in the desert.
