She was responsible for designing and making the patterns for shoes, bags, belts, jewelry and household items in leather. She also produced a body of woodcut prints.Subsequent to finishing her Master's degree, she moved to San Francisco, where she established her own corporation.

She continues to educate her hand and eye through drawing, painting, sculpture and photography. The form of the human figure and the emotion of gesture frequently inspire her drawings and paintings. Her sculpture expresses humor and pathos through constructions in various materials such as bicycle boxes, sheet copper, rope, vinyl, and papier mache. Her photography focuses on abstraction, the colors and textures in the natural world.
