 My Vision:

A leopard's spots are truly unique and so too, your home should reflect your personality, tastes, and lifestyle.

Creating pillows, table linens, home decor & gifts to accent your home & lifestyle with your distinctive spirit is what the Teal Leopard has been all about, since 2017.

As a professional soft furnishings designer, I believe the client, YOU, should have a multitude of choices when it comes to complimenting your home’s decor.

Noticing a distinct lack of quality fabrics and detail options in many home decor products, I strive to provide you with designer quality fabrics and handcrafted designer details that are typically only available from custom made products.

I use both high-quality Home Decor fabrics & supplies as well as carefully selected up-cycled materials.

Creating many one of a kind & limited edition products to express your style with bespoke details and artisan quality workmanship.

In 2023, long term Illness in my family meant that I had to come up with a way to continue serving my customers while being away from my studio days upon end. I fell back on my graphic design skills and started producing some graphic are that I could have printed on multiple products by a business partner and shipped directly to you. Thus, creating a unique wearable and usable line of art for you and your home.

Once again the Teal Leopard is true to it's spots and provides a unique solution to your creative and every day needs and desires.
