How to Commission a Custom Piece (It Is Easier Than You Think)

People hear "custom" and think it means complicated, expensive, or a long back-and-forth. It does not have to be. Here is exactly how commissioning a custom piece from my studio works.

Step 1: Tell me what it is for

Start with the custom piece form. The first question is simple: is it for your home or for fashion? A room, a vacation, a fabric for your own line, a gift — just say what it is for. That one answer shapes everything that follows.

Step 2: Choose a print

You can pick an archival print — Negril, Coastal Muse, Roots, Winter Solstice or Green Goddess — or ask me to make a brand-new custom print just for you. If you are not sure yet, say so. Part of my job is helping you find the right print, not making you decide alone.

Step 3: Size and budget

Tell me the size you need and the budget you have in mind. There is no wrong answer here. A clear budget helps me recommend the right base and the right print — a wallpaper, a dress, a cushion, a fabric by the yard — instead of guessing.

Step 4: The details

Use the details box for anything else: the colours you love, the room it is going in, the date you need it by, a photo of the space. The more I can see what you see, the closer the piece will be to what you imagined.

What happens next

Your form comes straight to me. I read every one, and I reply personally. We talk through the print, the base and the price, and then I make it — by hand, to order. No sign-in, no account, no long email chain to get started.
