Meet the Designer
Maura Kelly
Hello! I'm the designer and hands behind Motif Motif. Any "we" you read here is strictly in the royal sense, as this is a one-woman show, supported by my truly amazing family.
I started out designing digital scrapbook paper collections in 2012 after studying marketing and graphic design, but quickly realized I was envisioning my designs as fabrics and throw pillows, and started adding faux fabric textures to all of my patterns. The switch to textiles from digital was natural from there. I love playing with patterns and creating new ones that complement each other, but in a way that makes pieces and fabrics look collected over time to create a completely personal home.
I get to do a little bit of everything I love here, between brand development, designing patterns, and creating layered interiors. It's a one-woman show here, from the first inkling of a pattern, to proofing, to photography and site management.
I'm also a wife and stay-at-home mother of two, and am so thankful that Motif Motif has enabled me to stretch myself creatively while prioritizing our family life.

Sustainability & Carbon Conscious
All of our fabrics and pillow components (down to the thread!) are printed and made in the USA.
Our fabrics are Oeko-Tex 100 certified, and water conservation and ethical sourcing are practiced by our printers.

Not Just Olive Green
Olive green may pervade our designs, but green is also the way we try to do things around here - offering fabric remnants as mini swatches, working with environmentally conscious production partners that minimize waste, and favoring recycled and recyclable packaging and shipping materials.
