Our Spirit:
We are in living practice with slow creation. Rooted in ancestral textile lineages and contemporary design systems thinking, we work at the intersection of craft, care, and cultural memory. In our work, we return to breath, to the field, to the infinite loom. Our work listens for the frequency of coherence—where materials, makers, and meaning align. We cultivate beauty through presence, practice equity through attunement, and approach innovation as prism of remembering. Studio Nila is a space for intentional and interwoven Creation.

Breath as Tenet: Presencing and Equity
At Studio Nila, breath is both metaphor and method. We begin with presencing—the act of arriving fully into the field, before design, before decision. This is our commitment to slowing down, to listening, to honoring what arises. We build equity in textiles through pace and presence—through how we sit with the loom, how we hold the labor, the land, and lineages. Breath invites consent, coherence, and trust. It invites us into relationship with the self and with time.
