Brooklyn Seibold is a mixed media artist and production assistant for Ritual Dyes who seeks to spread joy with her vibrant, botanical creations. She discovered punch needle in 2019 as a way of translating her digital illustrations to physical pieces, and hasn’t stopped sharing her love for it since. She believes the forgiving nature of the tool and endless customization makes punch needle instantly satisfying for all. Her excitement for the medium and playful nature create an encouraging environment to learn and experiment without judgement. She loves working with color and lives in pattern. When she isn’t creating or processing yarn, you’ll find her dancing, riding her bike, and lounging in a sun spot with her giant cat, Tippy.
