ART DIRECTION

​

Yaya is a graphic designer, textile designer and artist, born in Montreal, Canada. This multidisciplinary creator uses a wide variety of mediums through her practice, from hand drawing, to traditional and digital printing methods on textiles. She describes her creations as being strongly inspired by her roots : the Caribbean and Africa. The art director behind Creative Sekence perceives patterns as a key to bring life and character to objects and spaces, but also as a way to combine her multiple fields of interest (arts, design, interior styling and fashion).
