My name is Isabella Bourne, I’m a designer and owner of the stationery brand isabella maria.

After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in textile & surface design I went on to do a variety of freelance design work. I have and continue to create textile designs for homeware products and children’s wear, paint personalized illustrations, teach art workshops, and I have recently finished illustrating a children’s book.

Now I’m living in Italy in a little hilltop town in the beautiful Umbrian countryside where everything is a source of inspiration. It is where I have chosen to launch my own brand. A stationery brand where I can combine my passions for design, creativity, and sustainability while bringing color and joy into people's lives.

The notebooks, greeting cards, and bookmarks that I have printed in Spain are all made with 100% recycled paper and some notebooks are even made with the by-product of kiwis!

(Scroll down to see any upcoming events. I will be teaching art classes at Arte al Sole and workshops at the Vocabolo Moscatelli Boutique Hotel in Italy. There will also be a few Christmas and pop up markets where I will be selling my stationery.)
