Where form meets function, creativity meets productivity, and beautiful design meets business development — that is where you’ll find Jacqueline Schmidt. Her talent covers a broad range of scope, from graphic design to interiors, product design to furniture curation, and packaging design to concept/lifestyle development (she also builds miniature dioramas, one of her many unique talents.)

As in nature, Jacqueline's signature hand-drawn illustrations & patterns come in all varieties of shapes, colors and sizes. She can create bespoke patterns & graphics or pull from a vast bank of images. Jacqueline’s hallmark look layers raw textures and motifs with a vintage appeal in a refined and dynamic way. Her use of earthy tones, textured tonals and a neutral palette are bound to soothe. When a project calls for it, she loves to add punches of bold & bright color.
