Phoebe is an artist and former seamstress with a passion for creating bold, expressive graphic designs that tell a story. Her background in fine art, freelance design, and wardrobe styling shines through in her work, blending clean lines with rich textures and thoughtful details. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she rediscovered her love for tactile crafts, finding inspiration in the simplicity and versatility of crochet. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in Fine Art, Phoebe spent over 20 years in New York City working as an artist and designer before moving to Portugal in 2023. Her experience living in Rome, New York, and Porto informs her aesthetic, drawing from urban energy, local culture, and her commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. Each piece she creates—whether on fabric, yarn, or paper—embodies her belief in the power of design to connect and inspire.
