Hi! I'm Cristina, the person behind Bumbleroot Design. I’m a handbag designer and maker here in New Jersey, and an aspiring digital illustrator for my own custom pillows and fabrics. Here are a few other fun facts about me!
🇨🇱 Proud Chilena daughter of immigrants!
⚾️ Native NYC-er, Drew U alum now living in NJ again after a 20-year detour in MA. (LGM!)
✏️ I’m a writer first and foremost. 30 years of technical writing for high-tech led me to writing up my bag patterns for publication. I’m currently working on poetry and non-fiction as an author and illustrating my own book covers. I also edit books (and book covers) for friends & family authors!
Registration is open! 🤩Join me for this NEW workshop at on April 14. We'll be making my Briamar pouch and learning about bagmaking and what goes into good bag design. Link to register in bio!

Try my LumaZip pattern for $1! I know it's risky trying out new-to-you patterns, so I'm offering my LumaZip pattern at a get-to-know-me price. You'll get a feel for my writing style, my illustrations, and my video tutorial methods. Or, buy the pattern at full price and support a designer. The choice is yours!
