Take a look at the gloriously vibrant work of embroidery, patchwork and surface designer Lorena Marañon.

Lorena's career took off back in 2009 with a small online shop of her hand-embroidered goods. Since then, her business has flourished and expanded to the point where she now offers one-of-a-kind collections for retailers around the world, as well as partnerships with companies such as fab.com.

Her "creative process", Lorena says, is "dictated by a tactile obsession to glamorize and transmute tiny ideas, matter and philosophies, and to pierce through with colorful lightness on hand crafted needlework, sewing, and quilting."
