pattern love :: skinny laminx

November 23, 2014

A busy weekend spent getting the house ready for Thanksgiving company, but pleasantly surprised to stumble upon these fantastic patterns courtesy of Skinny laMinx out of Cape Town, South Africa. Skinny laMinx is the creation of self taught illustrator Heather Moore. Her saturated colors and organic designs now adorn everything from wallpaper to textiles. She takes much of her inspiration from Norwegian design of the 50's and 60's, which I totally can appreciate! Check out more of her work for sale, including her paper goods and tote bags, at her etsy shop.

I'm an architect & writer based in Portland, Oregon. I'm passionate about broadcasting the value of design and established  Y/Wd in 2012 as a design resource with a mission to connect, create & communicate. 

I design spaces both large & small. I'm a list maker, researcher & a card-carrying introvert. I relish problem solving & finding the perfect fit. I'm a fan of process and storytelling - finding connections between seemingly random ideas is my super power!  

Life is full of daily doses of inspiration, I'm happy to share a bit with you. ---- Jen
