Below are a few of the projects I worked on during my time at Loloi Rugs. All photos and work are property of Loloi.

This collection was designed for children’s clothing. I used dark and muted colors to give the prints a sophisticated feeling, while the painterly hand gives the prints an element of joy and curiosity.

• Hand-made stamps used to create original motifs

• Motifs scanned and cleaned up in Photoshop

• Motifs placed into repeating patterns

• Colors Reduced and Indexed

• Multiple Colorways tested for most aesthetically pleasing results

With this print, the layering and the contrast of graphic elements with delicate, painterly ones gives it visual interest and depth. This was also an exercise in Color Separation and creating multiple colorways while maintaining the same attitude in each one.

• Hand-Painted Motifs

• Motifs Scanned and Cleaned in Photoshop

• Colors Reduced and Indexed

• Motifs placed into a repeating pattern

• Multiple Colorways Created

This collection of scarves was inspired by Hermès. I was inspired by how their scarves can have the same theme on the front and back while not being too similar.

• Hand-Painted/Sketched Motifs and layouts

• Motifs and Layouts Scanned and cleaned in Photoshop

• Various colorways tested for most aesthetically pleasing results

This project involved designing prints for fabric, as well as designing and sewing garments with that fabric. I decided to do something experimental, and block printing gave me a lot of freedom and control over my fabric design. Aesthetically, I focused on a natural, vibrant look. Bright colors and geometric shapes, paired with the beautiful imperfections of block printing helped me achieve that.

This print was inspired by the gorgeous and sometimes unexpected colors used by Zimmerman. The layering of the florals and contrasting between bold and delicate was also something that inspired me about Zimmerman’s textiles, and I tried to incorporate that into my design.

• Hand-Painted Motifs

• Imperfections were cleaned up in Photoshop

• Motifs placed into a repeating pattern

• Color Reduction and Color Indexing in Photoshop

• Multiple Colorways created

I began with art pieces that inspired me, and from that designed several knit and woven swatches and garments that they could be used for.

• Hand-Drawn Motifs

• Motifs Scanned and Vectorized in Adobe Illustrator

• Motifs Recolored and placed in repeating pattern

These two prints were designed to be used together with the common theme and color palette tying them together, as shown in the mockup.

This project incorporates bold colors, adding new interest in comparison to traditional designs for Cocoa Powder packaging.

I chose an existing wine company and created a new label design. The goal was to use the existing aesthetics and expand upon them, while keeping the brand’s core themes intact.

The inspiration behind this mini watercolor-based collection came from exploring antique stores for unique finds.

I began this fun typography project with a rough sketch, and then inked over it. In Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I added texture, colors, and gradients.

For this school project, I chose an object and sketched it over many times. I slowly began to define the key visual elements and deduct the unnecessary ones. After refining the object in Adobe Illustrator, I chose a letter and manipulated it to fit with the look and feel of the object. 

This collection of patterns reflects just a few of the things I love about Spring time; simple pleasures, like bike rides and succulents sitting in a windowsill.

The outcome of this project was twofold - I learned about the Art Nouveau movement as well as how to convey the key elements of that movement through the design of this book.
