Hi, I’m Tif!

I am a Knitwear and Interior Designer based in New England. I live in Connecticut with my husband, two daughters, and our silly Labrador Retrievers (Cody & Finn).

My design career began with Interior Design. While designing interior spaces and crafting apparel may seem worlds apart, I’ve found profound similarities in my creative approach. Whether curating a living space or designing knitwear, I am drawn to the interplay of color, pattern, and texture to evoke visual harmony.

I love exploring different textural stitch patterns, with herringbone stitch being a personal favorite. I enjoy blending textured details with simplicity to achieve a balanced aesthetic that captivates the eye. My goal is to create patterns that engage knitters throughout the creative process, without overwhelming complexity.

For me, knitting is an art form where each pattern is a canvas, inviting knitters to express their own narrative without words.
