Real Simple rounded up their rug picks in an article published online this month, and “Rug One,” which I designed for Work in Progress LA, was one of them!
Check out the full article “The 20 Best Rugs for Every Style and Budget” and go snag a rug for yourself at Work In Progress LA!
Special thank you to writer Hannah Baker for including the rug in her recommendations! (PS: Check out her GORGEOUS portfolio here!)
The rugs I designed for Work In Progress LA were featured in Architectural Digest! Writer Alia Akkam says I have a “flair for layering stripes” - I’ll take it!
Read the excerpt about my work from the article below, and see the full article, “7 New Design Collabs We’re Loving Right Now—From Ini Archibong, Uchronia, and More” for even more gorgeousness.
Jessica Poundstone x Work in Progress
Drawing from the Light and Space movement, Portland, Oregon–based artist Jessica Poundstone’s vivid, digitally conceptualized prints have sparked two graphic rug styles for L.A. design collective Work in Progress—the sibling brand to the agency Denvir Enterprises. The pigment-rich flat weave rugs, available in five colorways across two patterns, illuminate Poundstone’s flair for layering stripes. With an assist from ethical sourcing platform Nomadory, the cotton flooring coverings are sustainably produced in Bhadohi, India, each handwoven and hand-dyed by a third-generation family-owned business. w-i-p.la
Look at these gorgeous pegboards!!!! So honored to have been asked by the UPROOT^D team to collaborate on these, because who doesn't need an arty background for their “I just got home” stuff or their “above the changing table” stuff or their “random bits and bobs” stuff? These make allllll that stuff look rad.
I have been SO IMPRESSED with the love and care and sweat (and let’s face it probably tears but they didn’t let on) the UPROOT^D folks put into making their vision for these a reality - prototyping, trying different art, sanding things down when they didn’t work and trying again until everything met their standards which, y’all, are VERY HIGH.
If you need one of these in your life, head over to the UPROOT^D website and snag it, because there's a limited first run of these! Thanks once again to all the amazing folks involved in this collaboration!
I am so flipping excited to share that after years of people telling me I should make rugs with my designs I've done it!
Me in LA seeing the rugs in person for the first time! This one is the Wild Cherry colorway!
I was tapped by Emma Holland Denvir & Kevin Lee of the (womxn/queer-owned!) brand Work In Progress LA (a sister company to Denvir Enterprises) to create designs in five colorways.
The rugs are handmade by artisans in India who work with (another womxn-owned company!) Nomadory, which is committed to sustainable practices and a completely transparent supply chain.

Summertime!!!!!! I am very excited to have made what I hope will be a little extra summertime awesome for us with a collection of stuff to get us in the mood for fun in the sun!
This collection features Color Cloud 19: A New Thing is On the Way. I made this piece in the middle of the pandemic year - it’s about keeping the inner flame of curiosity, hope and openness to growth and change alive and well, and being absolutely convinced that new and good things are always just around the corner. I needed that reminder then, and I need it now - maybe you do too!

This collection features Color Cloud 16: You Never Know. The original artwork is about the idea that anything could happen...but in a good way : ) It's about keeping the inner flame of curiosity, hope and openness to growth and change alive and well.
My Color Cloud collection is an exploration of the visceral experience of color - I’m always pursuing that feeling of being submerged and surrounded by the lush, comforting, energizing vibe color can create. And now you can wrap that vibe all around you!
