From Concrete Jungle to Coastal Calm

I’m Dana, the "Jersey Girl" who traded the fast-paced energy of NYC for the sun-drenched, palm-lined lifestyle of Florida. While the scenery has changed, my drive to create hasn't slowed down…it just found a more colorful outlet.

The Dana Jean Aesthetic

Since studying graphic design in school, I’ve always found myself evaluating designs, jumping from hobby to hobby, and, needing a creative outlet. Dana Jean Design was born from a desire to take away my days of being "chronically online" and turn them into something tactile.

I design for the stitcher who isn't afraid of a little playful charm and who believes that a canvas should be as fun to look at as it is to stitch.

Off the Clock

When I’m not charting out a new design or hunched over my desk squinting at needlepoint canvases, you can usually find me:

• Refueling with a necessary (and likely large) coffee.

• Exploring the Florida coast for my next bit of inspiration.

• Trying to find the perfect balance between my digital roots and my analog hobbies.

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re a lifelong stitcher or a creative looking for a new way to unplug, I hope these designs bring a bit of "playful charm" to your needlepoint bag.
