Hi there, I’m Claire Everly.
A passionate textile designer with a love for storytelling through fiber, print, and pattern.
Over the past 6 years, I’ve immersed myself in the worlds of fashion, interior textiles, and surface pattern design, exploring everything from traditional hand-looming to digital printing techniques.
My practice is rooted in a blend of tactile intuition and digital innovation. Whether I'm developing a series of sustainable fabrics for upholstery or collaborating with indie fashion labels on seasonal prints, I approach each project with curiosity, technical precision, and deep respect for material history.
