Studio Series: Daniela Doe

Daniela is a graphic and textile designer, and, quite possibly, one of the few people who owns enough POEVE pairs to wear a different one each day. We spoke with her about her creative space and how she moves through it daily. How would you describe your practice? I start sketching out ideas digitally, then through tufting, embroidery, and textile printing, I explore how colour, texture, and form can make those concepts feel tactile and memorable. What does your creative space look like? My studio is set up around different workstations. There’s a digital area for sketching and planning, a tufting station where pieces come to life, and a flexible workbench for sewing or more experimental projects. Some days are spent at the computer, other days are more hands-on. I love the flexibility to move between activities and adjust my workspace as needed.

What’s one tool in your studio people always ask about? My tufting gun. It’s quite intriguing, maybe a bit intimidating too. People are always curious about how it works and how it turns yarn into texture so quickly.

What detail do you always notice in something that’s well-made? The small things. Seams, textures, how materials come together. Those details show the care behind a piece. They’re what make something feel honest and truly handcrafted. How do comfort and movement play into your process? Movement is essential. I’m constantly shifting between sitting, standing, and making. I like to wear things that are comfortable but still make me feel confident, often pieces I’ve made myself or thrifted. Shoes are part of that, something I can move in easily, but that also makes me feel put together and inspired while I create. Comfort does affect my focus, energy, and creativity in the studio, and when I feel good in what I wear, my work flows more naturally. Discover the pairs Daniela wears on repeat:
