FRIENDS OF THE GOVERNOR’S MANSION
The historic 1856 Mansion required a new state china service and through my internship I was given the opportunity to provide priliminary sketches. The design features key Texas symbols of the oak leaf, acorn and five point star. I assisted with the design process for the final proof of the state china, named the Texas Oak pattern. 27
