Four Corners Camera Straps

Four Corners Camera Straps

I began The Four Corners Strap Collection by sketching quilt patterns on grid paper, then translated them into repeat prints using Adobe Illustrator, creating a distinct colorway for each landscape represented. Inspired by the plants, skylines, rock formations, and waterways of the Four Corners region—where Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico meet—this collection reimagines traditional quilt motifs into modern, functional accessories. I sourced all materials and constructed the samples myself, ensuring craftsmanship aligned with the collection’s heritage-inspired storytelling. Designed for versatility and longevity, these straps invite consumers to embrace slower, more intentional living through timeless design and durable, heirloom-quality construction.

I digitally printed the designs onto a cotton twill fabric then quilted them to another locally sourced sturdy cotton and attached hardware for a traditional, durable, and breathable design.
