Meet the Maker

I'm Ashley.

I make pretty things and cozy spaces, from a one-person studio just outside New York City.

Ashley Giddens

Before any of this I spent more than ten years in NYC kitchens, and what stayed with me was learning to compose for every sense at once, so a plate, a table and the room around it all land together. I do the same thing now with color, light and pattern instead of flavor.

Some days that looks like a resin piece or a painting, some days it's a pattern headed for fabric or wallpaper, and some days it's helping someone figure out what they actually want their room to do for them. There's real color and design research behind the bright choices, and then there's the sparkle and twinkly light I've loved for as long as I can remember.

Joy is a non-negotiable with me.

If something here made you smile, or you have a room that doesn't make you feel anything yet, I'd love to hear from you.
