Before Chancel Studio, I was a chief sustainability officer, immersed in questions about resource scarcity. At home, meanwhile, I was trying to make my surroundings more joyful. Over time, I taught myself to sew, upholster, and paint.
There was often a temptation to buy new fabric, tools, or supplies—like a zipper in exactly the right color. But I kept returning to the idea that the raw materials for my creativity were all around me. My home turned out to be full of forgotten textiles I had never considered using. The first Chancel Studio pouches, for example, began as beautiful jacquard towels sitting unused in a kitchen drawer because they felt too special for drying dishes.
That revelation shaped how I design today: I begin with what is already available to me.
Everything you see here began with something that had a previous life—like a pair of jeans that hung unworn in my closet because they fit too snugly, or a tablecloth I was given that didn’t fit my dining room table. Chancel Studio gives these things a new form and a new use.
