Known for my soft colour palettes and detailed linework
I create designs that have a light and airy aesthetic
SCROLL TO SEE PATTERNS
This collection was born out of a long-time love and fascination with all things mystical. As a child and young adult I would get lost in the fantastical worlds of books and movies and as I grew older I became deeply curious about the symbolism behind certain plants and animals.
When I began this collection I was inspired to be more intentional with my creation process, resulting in each pattern behaving as a sort of a spell for: trusting your intuition, channeling your inner strength, and surrendering to transformation (just to name a few).
I discovered that these everyday symbols hold so much meaning behind them and therefore have the power to energetically shift us to another level of comfort, understanding, and universal trust
...especially when we tap into our cosmic intuition.
When I began this collection I knew I wanted to design something special for Mother’s Day and while that initially inspired all kinds of ideas, it naturally blossomed into a collection of floral patterns.
Drawing inspiration from photos I captured of gardens in England, bouquets from special occasions, as well as greenery from a local botanical garden has resulted in a collection that is sweet and playful with touches of vintage charm throughout.
Johannes Rose is a collection of thoughtful, sophisticated, and garden-inspired designs that convey a celebratory message that is timeless.
The high pitch sound of the oscilloscope, the clicking and snapping of dials and buttons, the smell of rubbing alcohol and the faint muttering of swear words when things got tricky are memories I have of my dad and his collection of electronics equipment.
To say he’s an avid collector is an understatement, but the joy and excitement he gets from new discoveries and restoring these pieces explain why we have so many.
Upon seeing the faces of these instruments and the intricacies of the circuit boards within them, I immediately started dreaming up a collection of patterns to celebrate my dad - the Frequent Collector, and his love of electronics.
HOW OTHERS WOULD DESCRIBE ME
Elizabeth exudes and embodies serene curiosity and care. She is the beauty and depth that she puts into her work. With her divine attention to detail, there is an energy that exudes from her and all that she creates, that immediately makes one feel gentle, calm, and filled up with delight. Passion runs deep in her and I've no doubt that anything she points that too turns to gold. Liz is a blessing and one of the most beautiful souls I've had the extreme fortune of meeting and working with
JAYALEIGH BOWEN
the designer behind the patterns
I’m Elizabeth Vandermey and I’m a designer, stationery collector, and gift wrap enthusiast, living along the shores of Lake Ontario, just east of Toronto.
WHERE I STARTED AND HOW I GOT HERE
I’ve spent years practicing, experimenting, and exploring various mediums. Growing up I was always drawn to the arts, and then eventually design - which lead me to mastering fine arts in high school, studying fashion design in university, and then professionally pursuing floral design, visual merchandising, and surface design upon graduation.
My passion for design has also instilled within me, a deep love and appreciation for interior decorating and graphic design. Through it all, I’ve learned how to bring my signature style to everything I do by taking inspiration from personal experiences, memories, and my ever-expanding interests.
WHO I AM AND WHAT DRIVES ME
I’m known for my warmth, generosity, and joyful energy. I believe in leading with kindness, embodying optimism, and surrounding yourself with beautiful things that are a direct reflection of your personal aesthetic and style.
I’m driven to create pieces that I wish existed - designs that are so beautiful you can’t help but have them on display, and products that you cherish long after using them.
Beautiful things can have an emotional impact and my desire is to bring even more beauty into the world. It’s my goal to provide a sense of comfort, inspiration, and joy to everyone who interacts with my brand, my patterns, and myself.
HOW OTHERS WOULD DESCRIBE ME
When I first met Liz, I was struck by her soft, sweet, and serene personality. As I got to know her, I was also delighted to learn about her cheeky, mischievous side; what a great combination! Of many amazing things I could share about her, the way I would best describe Liz is a friend who is encouraging and supportive, she strives to see the bright side of life, she has a deeply caring and empathetic heart, and while her gentle demeanour shines through, I am always impressed by her strength and determination
