Lauren Hughes is a designer, illustrator and creative director whose work bridges the worlds of fine art, historical craftsmanship, and contemporary storytelling. With an artist’s eye for detail and a deep appreciation for historical design, she reimagines the timeless Toile de Jouy tradition as a modern form of storytelling.

Raised in Charleston and now based in Los Angeles, she blends the charm of Southern tradition with the ease and creativity of the West Coast. Her signature patterns — detailed, narrative-rich, and inspired by vintage engraving styles — are a celebration of place, memory, and storytelling.

As the founder of Hughes Studio, Lauren creates everything from bespoke wedding patterns and brand collaborations to digital downloads and home décor. Each design is thoughtfully composed, balancing historical elegance with a fresh, contemporary spirit.

With a love for traditional style, and a talent for weaving humor into elegance, Lauren isn’t just designing patterns — she’s building a world, one print at a time.
