Designing gives my life a purpose.

Hello, welcome to this creative space! I’m Cat, a passionate designer dedicated to crafting unforgettable experiences that deeply resonate with people. Let me tell you, the path I’ve traveled to reach this point has been anything but a straight smooth line. Picture embarking on an epic road trip where you encounter every natural disaster movie ever made—that about sums it up so far.

Throughout my life, I’ve always had a clear sense of what I wanted to achieve, even if I didn’t quite know what that entailed. (Welcome to the enigma that is my existence.) Designing, creating, art—whatever label you prefer—transcends being merely a hobby or a job for me. It’s the driving force that ignites my passion and purpose. I happily spend 10-12 hours a day conceptualizing, crafting, refining, and allowing my imagination to roam free. Every second spent on this pursuit is worthwhile.

Designing has shaped my purpose.

When I launched Envisage, I initially had a direction in mind. However, I’ve learned to embrace organic evolution, relinquishing resistance and leaning into what feels right. This transformation has led me to the world of e-commerce, where I create vibrant, one-of-a-kind, and clever products that exude both elegance and attitude. And let me confess—I’m addicted.

It’s one thing to create something that resonates with me personally, but it’s an entirely different level of fulfillment when my work strikes a chord with others, eliciting laughter, smiles, or moments of thought. I’ve attempted to confine myself to a particular style or niche, only to feel stifled. My creativity draws inspiration from a myriad of styles, experiences, and thoughts, resulting in creations that are raw and genuine, born in the present moment.

My ultimate goal is to craft products that capture personalities and evoke emotions. From imaginative designs laced with sarcasm to home decor that effortlessly complements your living space, there is nothing I love more than bringing these ideas to life and sincerely hope that you enjoy them too.

 

Don’t be shy! Have questions? Let’s have coffee talk.
