Making It!: Week 1 - Ismoyo

Week 1: Meet the Designers - Ismoyo

Born in Amsterdam, Ismoyo started her creative journey as a little girl with crayons and scraps of paper. Growing up she was drawing constantly, writing and making mixed media collages. There always was a 'current project' to work on.

Combining her knowledge of computers and love for drawing offered her another creative outlet; digital illustrations and pretty designs. During the summer of 2005 she got her first sewing machine, and with the genes handed down from her mother, a talented designer, she added sewing to her creative adventures.

Two years later Ismoyo made the big move overseas to New York, where everyday is an adventure. A long awaited shop filled with original handmade Ismoyo items opened in the summer of 2008. She's been working on her first craft book, 100 Appliqué Motifs, which is scheduled to be published in the fall of 2008 in both the UK and the US.
