CONCEPTS
CALLE OCHO
Inspired by my travels to Little Havana, I created this pattern to bring the vibrant and iconic Calle Ocho to a mainstream product form. From teacups to vases, this rich pattern features saturated watercolors of tropical fruits and bold florals with energetic brushstrokes, capturing the energy of Calle Ocho.
Calle Ocho Vase
Inspired by contemporary designs, minimalistic vessel forms, imperfect watercolors, and abstract-inspired artwork, these vases capture the spirit of Calle Ocho in a product form that has never showcased this world before.
Calle Ocho Teacup
Brought to life in this whimsical teacup concept, you can imagine enjoying each sip of tea or cafecito!
Calle Ocho Pattern
Featuring vibrant mangos, papayas, bananas, and oranges, these floating delicacies intertwine with bold flowers in a sea of brush marks and watercolors. Inspired by Calle Ocho in Little Havana.
JADE PEONY
Inspired by traditional floral kitchenware, I illustrated this delicate white peony with a wash of soft green leaves. The flower floats in the center without any additional adornments. Simple. Elegant.
Jade Peony Teapot and Teacup
The Jade resin engulfs the teapot design, accented with a warm wooden handle and lid knob. The matching teacup reflects the jade resin on the teapot, juxtaposed with a peony artwork on its resting plate.
Jade Peony Plate
The plate concept comes alive with the heavenly illustrated peony. The minimalistic color palette features a soft jade color for the leaves. Watercolor brush strokes are comforting and etheral.
