Bryn Wears-Fitipaldi is founder and principal designer of the surface design company, Namavari, and co-founder of the Bay-Area based firm Archipelago Design. All of her original pieces are created in her studio located in Sausalito, California. She creates bold geometric paintings, collages and textile wall art that are reflections of her architectural training. She considers herself an abstract artist, focusing more on featuring elements of form, color, line, tone, and texture rather than literal forms. She has been an independent artist creating work for CB2 (Crate and Barrel) collaborating to create artwork for products ranging from dishes to rugs, bedding and tableware.
