Beauty should be a part of everyday moments . . .

Life is filled with small moments that deserve beauty. Whether it’s the mug that greets you in the morning, the pillow that brightens your space, the soft silk scarf you add to your outfit, or the journal that holds your thoughts —everyday objects should bring joy and inspiration.

Say Hello to “Ever in Flower!”

When I design a collection, I always imagine where it might live—home decor, kids’ clothing, lifestyle accessories or something else entirely.

Ever in Flower was designed with home spaces in mind. It is a garden-inspired collection rooted in softness, flow, and timeless charm. Flowing florals, drifting leaves, and decorative details come together in a soft palette chosen to inspire calm and comfort.

Used as wallpaper, the flowing florals of the Whispering Blooms pattern soften the room and add warmth, turning the bathroom into a light, elegant retreat.
