Custom Collections

by Helen Young

True originality is rich, rare and the deciding difference in creating a singular living or working environment. Which explains that rush you experience when you find the element that elevates an interior design beyond the client’s expectations.
EnZed Design creates original surface patterns to the color, tone, texture and scale you specify. It makes finding the wall covering, textile or architectural detail you need to perfect your design a matter of choice, not chance.

Now, isn’t that a beautiful concept?

We offer three ways to commission a custom pattern

Each offers its own level of collaboration, customization, and reproduction rights so you can select the best fit for your creative project.

1
Signature Collections

This collection is flexible, budget-friendly, and readily available for smaller scope projects, product lines, and those with a need for speed. 

  • Choose from existing designs.
  • Customize the scale and color way.
  • Secure usage rights/licensing. 
2
Tailored Collections

This is a great option for the discriminating client who requires a unique design, but doesn’t want to start from scratch.

  • Start with our designs.
  • Customize the color way and scale.
  • Request minor adaptations to the motif to suit your specific needs.
  • Secure usage rights/licensing and desired degree of exclusivity. 
3
Persona Collections

This is the perfect option if you’re designing a project with a large scope that requires the same design aesthetic to pull through. Picture this: a pattern that echoes shapes from the focal point or theme of your room design — a mural wall, painting, sculpture, custom rug, fireplace, tile, light fixture, furniture detail, textiles, favored accessory, drawer pulls, etc. Imagination is the only limitation, because Persona:

  • Accommodates various scales and hues, and even multiple motifs or iterations.
  • Is designed exclusively for your project with motifs, color ways, and scale created to your specifications. 
  • Offers an extended collaborative process, exclusive usage rights/licensing and an option for copyright purchase. 


Persona is ideal for product lines. Perhaps your current products need fresh new offerings to expand the line. Perhaps you’ve wanted to design your own collection but cannot find the time or don’t know where to start. Persona provides that opportunity in full. Imagine our creative skills and aesthetics merging as we collaborate on something fresh and fantastic. We handle the complexity of the repeat for various scales and substrates and you use your business savvy and professional connections to bring it to market. Magic!

Helen! Your solutions blew us away. Really weren’t expecting so many options. After lots of discussion, we’ve chosen design #3. Thanks, again.

About You

You are exceptionally honed in your craft and your clients notice. Your eye is always roving for the best, most unusual options, placing you ahead of or just beyond the trends. You seek out new experiences to fuel your creativity. Inspiration strikes frequently, most often when you’re wandering and wondering. You love to share good ideas with your team and watch them transform into great ones. Everything you create comes with your signature.
Your projects are too important to scrimp or compromise. You choose not to rush when it comes to design, striving for perfection with a dash of wabi-sabi — that yes! feeling is the sweet spot. Collaboration is part of your mojo and when you commit, you commit — digging in where needed to make the work sing or backing away to give creativity space to bloom. Your clients treasure you and are consistently delighted and amazed by your talent.

Me too. Let’s meet.

A word about style

I design seamless patterns with an organic geometry, most reading all directions.

I favor clean lines and shapes in a modern aesthetic, plus contemporary takes on traditional motifs and span tone-on-tone texture, beautiful backdrops, and head turning motifs.

My surface patterns are a fit for wallcoverings, textiles, felt, metal, wood, acrylic and vinyl.

Although representational, painterly or heavily-layered styles are not my focus, I relish creating companion designs echoing elements from dimensional wall coverings, textiles, and works of art.
