Meet Helene
As a freelance designer, illustrator and artist working in digital and traditional mediums, I create unique visual expressions to elevate and expand your brand. I can work with you no matter where you need a boost on your branding or marketing path, and love to incorporate artistry and intention at every step of the way.

NEW KEEPERS

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This KEEPER promises to hold your dreams, your totems, your nourishment, your love...
as well as your pencils, your cords, your makeup, your tarot deck, your tampons and your keys…
This One-Of-A-Kind pouch was created out of upcycled materials and crafted with intention.
Most of the materials used here chose me.
The maker relishes the delights of gifted materials – beads, textiles, thread and yarn, paintbrushes…they get tucked away, bide their time, polish themselves into diamonds.
The Keeper was born from a desire to create with these gifted, polished materials – to make, but to consume less. To transform something un-used into something of use, a sort of alchemy.
When you find the one-of-a-kind KEEPER for you, I believe the object is choosing you.
Re-use is a counter energy to a culture of disposability. Our resources ARE precious. Thinking about this pouch, I realize all of the resources that have gone into it — the water –– the soil –– the seeds –– the labor of growing / harvesting / spinning the cotton; the power for the machines that wove the textile, the handprinting of the patterns, the components of the dye. I am indebted to the earth and the labor.
The pieces of this KEEPER and the impetus for its creation came together slowly over time.

These KEEPERS are the story of unseen promise. Over many years, I have acquired the residual delights of other people’s hobbies. My friends and family saw something invisible in me, and knew that I could make use of these materials … some day. And that day has come, and with intention.
The idea of re-using comes as a counter energy to a culture of disposability. Our resources are more precious than many of us seem to acknowledge. Many resources have gone into the growing of the cotton plants, the weaving of these plants into a textile, the printing of that textile.
Most of these materials chose me, I suppose. And when you find the one-of-a-kind KEEPER for you, I think it’s possible that it’s actually the object that is choosing you.
These KEEPERS are the story of unseen promise too, in that they will hold your dreams, your totems, your nourishment, your love. Let them.
