ABOUT
Creativity and art have been my guiding lights since childhood, leading me to explore various mediums like ceramics, black & white photography, jewelry making, and sewing, among others. Eventually, this journey led me to graduate from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise in Los Angeles, majoring in Graphic Design with a focus on Branding.
Besides working in graphic design, I authored and illustrated a children’s book and gained valuable experience in the retail industry as a buyer and merchandiser. However, it wasn’t until the pandemic hit that I rediscovered my passion for pattern design, bringing together my love for art, interior design, packaging, fashion, nature, and history. These elements now fuel my work every single day.
Hello, I'm Adriana, an artist and surface pattern designer from Los Angeles, California and the creator of Sophia Bleue Design.
I’d say my aesthetic is a blend of timeless design with a hint of contemporary flair. To me, curated spaces and objects are like chapters in our personal story, reflecting our ever-evolving tastes and values. I have followed many trends that have come and gone from my life, but I know that what has remained are classic and cherished things to me.
I like to think that my tastes and interests are deeply rooted in the cultural tapestry of my European ancestry, which spans from Italy, Austria, Portugal, and Spain to Brazil, my birthplace and upbringing. Growing up in Brazil exposed me to a melting pot of cultures, nurturing my curiosity and shaping my diverse interests. From a young age I naturally gravitated towards unconventional pursuits like collecting interior design magazines, watching period novellas (Brazilian soap operas), spending time in nature, and losing myself in classic Hollywood movies.
At the age of 21, I embarked on a new chapter moving to the United States, where I continued to nurture my passions while also starting a family. Now, after decades of exploration and growth, I find myself deeply immersed in a field that encapsulates so many of my interests, offering endless inspiration. I truly believe this journey has only just begun, with countless avenues of discovery lying ahead.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to pursue work that not only fulfills me but also enriches my life in countless ways. I hope my work will bring you the same joy and be a part of a cherished chapter of your unique story.
