Low Tide Summers

This collection grew from a weekend spent in bed with a cold in Chicago, dreaming of the island my family has visited since I was a child, where my cousins and aunt live, and which has always felt like home away from home.
Every motif comes from things I've collected there over the years: shells, sea grass, shorebirds, and the sharks' teeth the beach is known for. The palette draws from my aunt's 1970s beach kitchen wallpaper, sun bleached and full of memory.
I wanted the collection to feel childlike, joyful, and spontaneous, the kind of place that holds the simplicity of childhood summers and the closeness of family time together. Designed with wallpaper for a child's bathroom or beach house in mind, or printed on cotton for everyday use.
