Some collections begin with a color. Mine begin with a mood. I let the mood lead and the collection follows.
I’m Mabel Chow, a surface designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work in collections — patterns, placement pieces, and lettering designed to live beautifully in real spaces. I find inspiration in funny juxtapositions, moody urban and natural atmospheres, the quiet comedy of everyday life, and the unexpected ways lines and shapes come together. My work lives in organic forms, quiet wit, and latent details.
I’m building a portfolio of licensable work and welcoming collaborations in fabric, home decor, wallpaper, kitchenware, and lifestyle products. I have a soft spot for brands that believe beautiful things and responsible practices aren’t in conflict.
If that sounds like you, I’d love to talk.
