From poiesis —the ancient art of making.
Studio Poetica carries this spirit: creative acts across forms.

Works

We breathe life into artful brands, objects, spaces, and experiences.  The forms differ. The eye remains the same.

POETICA

Garment care as beautiful as the pieces it tends.

GARDEN HOUSE

A Brooklyn Brownstone, returned to itself.

DUNE HOUSE

A study in light, coming soon.

New York-based creative director Tess works where care and craft meet. 

Tess previously led Global Communications at LeapFrog Investments, a pioneering force in impact investing. She is Founder and Creative Director of Poetica, a luxury sustainable botanical brand featured in goop, Vogue and Forbes, and has led the restoration of unique New York residences.

Studio Poetica is where our creative pursuits take shape. Exploring the many facets of craft, we move fluently across the written word, creative direction, branding, product design, scent design, and interior design.

Purveyors of beauty with meaning, we’re guided by an eye for the spare, the rare, the sensory, and the deeply considered. We collaborate selectively on projects, drawn to work shaped by heritage and intention  - where a considered hand quietly leaves things better than it found them.
