My bold & energetic graphics can now be found on personalized electronic device cases! I have  teamed up with Solid Line Products – Keka brand - fully customizable hardcover cases for all iPad models, Kindle, and Kindle Fire. I have developed 10 exciting designs and have even come up with a few graphic surprises on the inside cover – just the touch you need to truly punctuate your unique, personal style! See the full line in my Designer Case Gallery of the Keka case website.

So excited to launch my first textile collection with Modern Yardage, one of my new licensing partnerships! My new collection is called Revelation. The first colorway, Succulent Garden, illustrates the versatility of the Modern Yardage system at its very best. Here, I offer multiple options within each color and pattern so that you can “customize” your collection to make your space and/or project truly unique.

The Succulent Garden colorway is “on trend” in lush shades of emerald, chartreuse, and aqua, accented by neutral creme, charcoal, and black. There are six bold, graphic patterns in various shades and scales offering a whopping 98 possibilities—from very large scale, bold graphics for home interiors projects, to smaller scale graphics for crafts, quilts and fashion. The images above illustrate just a few of the patterns available.

My name is Karen Swartz Harris and welcome to -ize on design in Akron, OH, U.S.A. I decided to approach this challenge by going back to my roots because in order to truly evaluate where we are going, we have to take a good hard look at how we got to this point. I am an architect by training and, when  I learned about our theme of “flight”, I decided to approach the challenge from a different perspective…from above.

My aesthetic is very architectural, modern, clean and detailed, yet organic in nature, using mostly hand drawn elements. It is my dream to build a lifestyle brand around my unique, graphic styling. I have secured some fabulous licensing partners in the home interiors space this past year and I am looking to develop similar partnerships in 2013. It’s my passion to infuse sophisticated styling into objects and spaces, while at the same time injecting a little fun!

I call my collection “Looking Up” – looking up at all of the infinite possibilities where the sky is the limit!

My anchor pattern/illustration is titled “Bird’s Eye View”. I feel a new year is a perfect opportunity to step back, look at the bigger picture, establish goals and plan for what’s next.

My abstract, sort-of three-dimensional plaid motif, “New Heights”, reminds us to take advantage of opportunities that allow us to take our lives, our craft, our experiences to another level,

And “Soar Above” our own expectations and the limitations that we put on ourselves!

Thank you so much for paying me a visit. Please bookmark my site and take a look at some of the products that we are impacting!

Up next…the artistic styling of Piia Põdersalu, who is originally from Estonia, but now resides in Israel. Enjoy!

So pleased to be represented in the 2013 Foreign Accents Contemporary Rug offerings. Already deemed a hit when introduced at the Las Vegas Market, these rugs will be available at brick & mortar and online stores nationally and internationally. Shown here are the eight rugs that I designed from the available offering! Contact Foreign Accents for participating retailers.

my print and pattern process always starts with my freehand ink drawings. sometimes i pull an element out of those drawings and that motif can take on a life of its very own. and sometimes i just like to go back to basics and and leave a drawing as is. these examples from my collaboration with DENY Designs do a little of both. many of these designs are just as they were originally drawn; some motifs have been manipulated into unique patterns. i think they are all fabulous!
