A Little Bit of the Outdoors, Inside
Pretty Little Pickle began with a love of color, nature and the feeling a beautiful space can create.
I live in Upstate New York, surrounded by freshwater shores, country fields, wildflowers, changing leaves, winter skies and all four very distinct seasons. Much of my inspiration comes from simply noticing the colors around me — the reflection of fall trees on the water, dried wildflowers along a country road, the muted green of a field, or the blue-grey of a winter afternoon.
I turn those everyday moments into color palettes, patterns and home décor designed to bring a little bit of the outdoors inside.
The collection includes cozy blankets, towels, bedding and other pieces for lake houses, country homes, cabins and spaces that feel comfortable, personal and lived in. Some designs also draw inspiration from places beyond New York that have been meaningful to me, including the colors and natural beauty of the South Pacific.
For me, a design isn't just a pretty pattern. It's a mood, a memory and a way to build a feeling through color.
Each design is thoughtfully created and curated for Pretty Little Pickle, with AI-based creative tools used as part of my design process. Items are produced to order through carefully selected production partners, helping reduce unnecessary inventory and waste.
Freshwater shores. Country fields. The comfort of home.
