I’m Chelsea Orfanos, a New York–based mixed-media artist, designer, and interior stylist. Born and raised in Upstate New York, I earned a B.S. in Fashion & Textile Technology from Buffalo State University and an A.A.S. in Textile Development & Marketing from the Fashion Institute of Technology.

For over a decade, I’ve worked across the creative industry in a range of roles—from Design Assistant for Madeline Weinrib, to Product Designer for Target, to Art Director for Dr. Pimple Popper’s skincare line. I’m currently a Senior Graphic Designer at OSEA, while also pursuing my passions in fine art and interior styling from my home in Upstate New York.

Inspired by the textures and details found in nature, I create artwork and styled spaces that translate tactile complexity into experiences that feel grounded, layered, and calm.

I’m amazed at how good this lamp makeover turned out!! 

I’ve never done a diy project like this before, so I went through a couple weeks of research and overthinking. But after I got over that hump, I just experimented and had fun.
