When analog meets attitude in the most unexpected way.
This design began with the simplest tools—ink, paper, and hands willing to experiment. Through mark-making and careful folding of narrow paper strips, a checkerboard pattern emerged that defies every rule about what a check should be.
The result is beautifully imperfect: streaky, distressed squares that look like they've lived a little. Each block carries the organic irregularity of hand-drawn lines and the happy accidents that happen when ink meets folded paper. Unexpected flecks of pink break through like whispered secrets, adding warmth to the monochromatic foundation.
There's something nostalgic about it—maybe it's the slightly rebellious energy, the way it takes a classic pattern and roughens it up just enough to make it interesting. It's checkerboard for people who never colored inside the lines.
This is pattern-making as meditation, as discovery, as proof that the most compelling designs often come from simply playing with materials and seeing what wants to emerge.

This is a Preorder — Made Just for You!
I’ve teamed up with a small-batch manufacturer to create limited-edition shirts, sweatshirts, and tote bags featuring my original designs.
When you place your order during this special preorder window, I’ll gather all orders and have them produced in one big batch. Why? Because I want to include my signature handmade touch — a fabric collage and handwritten note — with every package. That means everything ships from me, not the factory.
Preorders are open until August 16th, and items will ship out from Brooklyn 4–5 weeks later — likely in mid to late August. As soon as they arrive from the manufacturer, I’ll ship them to you right away. You’ll get a tracking number the moment your order hits the mail.
These pieces are made just for you and won’t be available again this season — don’t miss out!
There are no refunds and no returns on this item. Check the size chart carefully.
