About Finchley

 

Welcome to Finchley Designs! I’m Nicole Shorthouse, a surface pattern designer and printmaker with a passion for creating unique, hand-drawn designs that bring joy and creativity to everyday life. Through the art of printmaking, I transform simple ideas into one-of-a-kind patterns, often inspired by my love for whimsical and fun motifs.

Every design I create begins with a sketch — a thought, a feeling, or a scene I want to share with the world. I then bring these sketches to life through the printmaking process, carving, inking, and pressing each design by hand. The result is a collection of distinctive, hand-drawn patterns that are unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.

At Finchley Designs, you’ll find a variety of products including tees, totes, and hats. Each piece is carefully crafted to reflect my love for playful design and unique art. I believe in bringing a touch of handmade artistry into everyday items, so you can wear and carry something truly special.

Thank you for supporting my creative journey. Whether you're looking for a fresh tee to brighten your wardrobe or a tote that showcases a playful print, I hope you’ll find something that speaks to you.
