She moved to New York City to pursue musical theatre but found a home in textile art. Geometry and bold colors drive her designs, and she loves all-over texture using simple knit-purl combos. She draws inspiration from her love of nature, architecture, and history and believes knitting should be as much about the experience as the finished piece. Aubrey is a wife and mother to two toddlers and a newborn and these days is a “naptime knitter.” She loves being outdoors, singing, gardening, doing arts and crafts with her kiddos and hopes to one day pass her passion for knitting on to them.
