Meet the Artist
Hello, I’m Zeesi and this is my story.
I think with brush in hand!
I have been painting and drawing most of my life. My years of intensive fine art training at some of New York’s best art schools add a visually engaging and professional level to my design work. My philosophy is to never stop learning. Surface pattern design is a discipline that is a perfect match for my fine art background.
Ultimately, I am driven by collaboration. Seeing a client’s vision evolve through our interactive process and knowing my artwork will be used in high-quality, long-lasting products inspires my creativity.
Fine art training:
- the Silvermine College of Art – studied watercolor painting & drawing, New Canaan, Connecticut
- Art Student’s League – studied painting with master watercolor artist Mario Cooper, New York
- Pratt Institute – studied classical painting, New York
- the Fashion Institute of Technology – Degree in Surface Design/Textile Design, magna cum laude, New York

My design inspiration is rooted in the natural world and the timeless elegance of vintage patterns. I draw heavily from botanical foliage & organic textures found in the natural world.
I am inspired by the tactile process of creating art by hand— starting with pencil sketches and watercolor washes—before refining them digitally. This blend of traditional artistry and modern technology allows me to create unique, production-ready designs that feel authentic and luxurious.
