Urban— Design Collection -Awarded the ICFF Editors Award for Materials and Textiles 2021

The Urban– Design collection is a series of illustrated moments of a rapidly urbanizing city. The prints are inspired by urban design, the built environment and its outcome on our cities. It grew out of a series of walks, conversations with neighbors and studio projects. read more here

Building the collection

Overlapping prints define our process

Over the course of the pandemic I began developing a collection that grew out of our daily walks in our city. The shut down brought us into our city in a new way. Matt and I began walking through different neighborhoods and along the way I was collecting moments that would tell this story. Each print that was developed during this time built off of each other creating a color palette as well as scale of prints and line work. All of the prints that began to develop came from the overlapping of the printed material, mimicking that of an urban environment and the detritus that I was documenting.

The collection is printed on 100% cotton canvas as a ubiquitous material, easily accessible and durable. The material plays with the color and application of ink on the fabric.
