Hello there!

Hello I am Nina Guadalupe Cawley. I was born in London, and grew up in California. I have studied fashion design at Santa Monica College (CA), and Parsons (NY). I am currently based in Los Angeles, continuing my education and working on my own projects. I have experience in retail management as well as visual merchandising, commissioned murals, and shop windows. Growing up in California has given me a close relationship with nature which has evolved into exploration of many up-cycled resources, natural materials, and natural dyes. I am detail oriented, and my love of beautiful intricacies led me to embroidery and needlepoint. Bargello, or Florentine work is a passion of mine that was taught to me by my Granny. She also sparked an interest for me in all sorts of other needlecraft. I’m actively learning machine and hand knitting, crochet, embroidery techniques, smocking, and quilting. My goal is to apply all of my experience and passions to each new project, and always continue creating.
