Maker: Leila Simon Hayes (Boston, MA)

Leila is an abstract artist and award-winning designer based in Boston. Her surface pattern designs are born from remixing and reimagining her black and white ink drawings into bold, colorful, unusual patterns that muse on playful scale and color combinations alongside an exploration of rhythm and movement. Her work can be found on textiles, wallpaper, homewares, book covers and other objects to surround yourself with. The exploration methods that create her patterns have become a trademark. She is known for combining elements into surprising relationships, made from a meditative dream space, inspired by her curiosity about the universe, and with respect for what we can’t see. Leila’s attention to precision and structure, combined with her understanding of improvisation and movement, is the combination that creates her artistic signature.
