Projects
  • Coastal Treasures
    Coastal TreasuresThis new collection captures the essence of the english coast. Dive into a world of seashells, sand tones and motifs arranged to dance across fabrics, wallpapers and accessories of all kinds. Each piece is a reminder of the ocean's magic, inviting you to bring a touch of coastal charm into your home with subdued, neutral and quiet colours merging with the background with the occasional Neptune colour shade and tint to stand out.
  • Buck Moon
    Buck MoonJuly's full moon happens in Capricorn and the Buck Moon symbolically represents the time male deer antlers are in full-growth mode, meaning speed, stamina, regeneration and leadership. Combined with chrysanthemum flowers to give a delicate mood to this golden moon, some cotton buds in warm tones to match and to scatter around the whole moon vibe. A cat skull to represent the mystical connection between cats and the moon through centuries with the occasional aura and sparkly stars.
  • Blue Mushroom Forest
    Blue Mushroom ForestAnother magical forest realm but this time with blue mushrooms and ivy leaves. I was inspired by Witch and Cottage Core, Herbology, Botanical Gardens and of course, the forest. The kind of aesthetic that has mossariums all around the house, crystals, tarot cards and The Grimm's Fairy Tales books. A collection suitable for all seasons, but I can see it being popular in Autumn.
  • Red Mushrooms in the Woods
    Red Mushrooms in the WoodsI wanted to create a magic realm filled with red cap mushrooms in the woods, hidden, floating, or in a cluster. Patterns suitable for chilly autumn months, to decorate your living room, your kitchen, and to bring the magical woods into your home, or should I say cottage? For all lovers of this aesthetic of herbology, those that want to live inside a botanical garden like me :)
  • Monstera Skulls
    Monstera SkullsA looot of tropical palm leaves and monstera leaves dictate this collection. The main characters are the skulls, so I wanted to add a powerful motif to go with those open mouths and huge set of teeth, as if the skulls are part of a ritual layout and the runic symbols are enchantments to secure the spell.
  • Rustic Cabin
    Rustic CabinA collection of patterns inspired by a bison skull, in which I created a main motif - framed in two coloured versions - and from it designed the other patterns you see here. Loads of horns aligned in a teal background, some with citrine crystals, potion pots and crossed bones in macro and micro versions.
