Hello I'm Aysa
Aysa Designs is the work of the artist Aysa Zebekow. Her goal is to connect, encourage and inspire you to thrive with our planet and each other.Our Illustrations and patterns are filled with bold energetic and whimsicle colors that bring our designs to life!
Aysa designs showcase a love for the natural world and deep love of children's stories remebered fondly from childhood.Our Designs are playfully made for the enjoyment of your little once and anyone forever young in spirit.
Our story began in 2018 when Aysa was feeling lost in the world after going through a car accident and losing her job. She reflected on what brought her joy as a child. This led her to pick up a pencil and draw again.
With each artwork she created, Aysa realized how important it was to do the things you love. She found her love for the plant and conservation intertwined with her creativity and from that she started Aysa Designs. We wholeheartedly believe "Together We Thrive and Connections Keep Us Alive"
