MYER SF IS THE CREATION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIVE AND SOFT GOODS PHOTO STYLIST, NICOLE MYER. BORN AND RAISED IN MARIN COUNTY, JUST NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, MUCH OF HER INSPIRATION AND INFLUENCE COMES FROM THE SURROUNDING CULTURE, BEAUTY AND NATURE OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, AS WELL AS INFLUENTIAL YEARS SPENT LIVING IN THE CARIBBEAN.

LIKE MANY INVENTIONS, MYER SF WAS BORN OUT OF NECESSITY. AS A SOFT GOODS STYLIST, NICOLE OFTEN FOUND HERSELF IN NEED OF UNIQUE, DECORATIVE ITEMS. ALWAYS INTERESTED IN TEXTILES --AND INSPIRED BY ART-- SHE STARTED EXPERIMENTING WITH VARIOUS PAINTS, DYES, INKS AND OTHER MEDIUMS, DRAWING FROM HER EXPERIENCES AS AN ART MAJOR IN COLLEGE. THE RESULTS WERE INTRIGUING AND THE PROCESS PROVED TO BE ADDICTIVE AND SHE SOON DISCOVERED HOW MUCH SHE ENJOYED THE CREATIVE PROCESS ITSELF IN ADDITION TO THE FINAL OUT-COME. USING MOSTLY LINENS AND COTTONS, EACH PANEL OF FABRIC IS MANIPULATED INDIVIDUALLY, SO EACH PILLOW BECOMES IT’S OWN PIECE OF ART. AND WHILE IN MOST CASES PILLOWS ARE MADE OUT OF HER OWN DESIGNS, OCCASIONALLY THEY ARE MADE FROM OTHER FAVORITE, FOUND TEXTILES SUCH AS MALI MUD CLOTH, SPECIAL BLANKETS, WOOL OR CASHMERE SCARVES - WHATEVER HAPPENS TO APPEAL REALLY.
