I am MJ.

I am an artist, photographer, and surface pattern designer based in Brooklyn, New York. While my creative interests have led me across a variety of creative pursuits over the years, my education in fashion

design continues to shape the way I approach pattern, color, composition, texture, and form.

​

I am drawn to beauty in the unexpected, uncovering pattern within both the natural world and the unseen structures that shape daily life.
I am captivated by the seemingly mundane, the overlooked, and the ordinary, discovering wonder in quiet details and finding rhythm in both the organic landscape and the architectural forms that surround us.

​

Drawing, painting, and photography are all part of my creative practice. Through each medium, I explore texture, light, movement, and form, documenting moments of discovery and deepening my understanding of the world around me. Whether through the lens of a camera, the stroke of a brush, or the creation of pattern, I am continually exploring the beauty, structure, and quiet stories woven throughout everyday life.

 

As the founder and creative director of La La Land Studio, I build cohesive pattern collections rooted in rhythm, movement, and subtle architecture. My work explores vibration, structure, and atmosphere, balancing intuitive flow with disciplined execution. Rooted in both feeling and form, my collections bring together organic expression and thoughtful construction.

​

Love is my language. Through my art, I offer a quiet invitation to experience beauty more deeply, sharing a subtle frequency of connection through pattern, color, form, and image. If something here speaks to you, whether you’re interested in licensing, collaboration, or simply connecting, I’d love to hear from you.
