ZOE WODARZ
Zoe Wodarz is a Minnesota based surface designer. Her work has developed from years of refining her fine arts foundations into the digital space with hand-drawn elements and vibrant color combinations.
When we were dreaming up this collection with Zoe, we immediately connected on the desire to create pieces that spark joy. Creating in the height of summer we were inspired by juicy fruits, sunshine, smoothies, fun textures... and the Slice of Summer evolved from there.
