Textile Designer, Multimedia Artist, Student to Materials

An overly inquisitive child, Hatley began cultivating a visual language before she had fully developed a spoken one, drawing garments and doodling constantly. A carry-on necessity in her parents extensive travels, she joined in on global adventures that continue to inform her practice to this day. Upon graduation from the Material Art & Design program at OCADU she went on to further her studies in Fashion & Interior Design at Parsons NYC and Central Saint Martins, UK. After moving back to Toronto, she worked for a high-end interior design & build firm and a boutique textile showroom. 

Material exploration, visual juxtapositions of urban and natural environments, sustainable practice, and haptic & ludic approaches to making are a few of the many things that inform her work. Her rapidly evolving methods of creating lend a unique, original and imaginative aesthetic to her patterns and art which she hopes inspire and excite the spirit of any space. As you browse this site, please imagine the patterns printed on or woven into various home decor articles, such as pillows, wallpaper, carpets, drapery, headboards, or whatever else you fancy. Hatley is always drawn to a design challenge - please contact her to discuss custom orders and other creative collaborations.
