Based in Brooklyn, NY with an outpost in Jackson Hole, WY, Coral & Tusk’s creative process includes a unique combination of illustration and hand drawn embroidery. Trained informally at home and then formally at RISD, designer Stephanie Housley, first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs as original pencil drawings before she painstakingly redraws them stitch by stitch using specialized software. Designs are machine-embroidered at cut-and-sew workshops that Stephanie set up in India and are then finished by hand in her Brooklyn studio. From concept and original drawing all the way to the finished product, a single design takes months to produce. Every Coral & Tusk product retains the hand-drawn allure of Stephanie's original illustration, now with the satisfying tactile quality of thread on cloth.

"Drawing is my passion. Embroidering these drawings makes them come to life." Born and raised in the Ohio Valley, Stephanie comes from a long line of Appalachian women who could make something from nothing. Her great-grandmother made lace while her grandmother made dolls, each instilling Stephanie with a deep appreciation for self-expression through craft. First enchanted by the natural world during childhood trips to the Eastern seaboard, traveling, drawing and embroidery were intrinsic to her childhood and development into a textile and home product designer. While the East Coast remains a beloved destination, Stephanie's frequent travels now span the globe. Narratives spun from magical experiences, naive art, lesser-known histories, and natural artifacts collected from Wyoming to Cappadoccia to Nepal inform every one of Stephanie's illustrations and textile designs. Stephanie's creative process is a special alchemy of story-telling, illustration, machine embroidery and hand-finishing.
