Hand-Painted Art for Your Everyday Life
I believe art belongs in your daily routine, not just on a wall. From cottagecore bookmarks to custom phone inserts and desk organizers, each piece is hand-painted to bring a little extra warmth to your space.

About Art for Your Everyday
When you choose a custom phone case insert, remember it is designed to be swappable, so you can change your vibe as often as you want. For my wooden desk organizers, I apply a double coat of varnish so they are not just pretty to look at but also wipeable and durable enough to handle your daily workspace chaos.
My studio is where the magic happens, usually accompanied by Bangalore rain and a cup of chai. Whether it is a bookmark or a trinket box, I do not strive for machine-made perfection. I lean into the imperfections that show a human hand was involved in every brushstroke.
My process varies based on the item:
- Bookmarks: I use 300 GSM cold press paper with gouache or watercolor, ensuring they have a lovely texture and durability for your favorite reads.
- Phone Inserts: These are high-quality paper illustrations custom-cut for your specific model.
- Wooden Decor: These organizers and trinket boxes feature traditional Pichwai fusion designs. I finish them with a protective varnish so they can handle everyday use on your desk.
I love mixing mediums, sometimes even using actual coffee for those earthy, sepia tones when I am in the mood for something different. Each order comes packed with a little extra love—hand-drawn doodles and a personalized note—because unboxing your art should feel like receiving a gift from a friend. If you are looking for something specific, like a particular floral theme for a bookmark or a custom color palette for your desk, just let me know. I paint everything in small batches, so what you get is as unique as your own morning routine.
