Creative Studio
We turn art into scarves, patterns, and creative projects for people and brands.
What Is Mali?
We are a creative studio where art, color, and storytelling come together.
We create hand-painted designs and turn them into scarves, creative kits, workshops, and custom projects for events, brands, and institutions.
We work with:
- people who love beautiful, meaningful things
- brands and events that want something unique
We like to make things that are thoughtful, colorful, and easy to use in real life.
Here, every piece has a story, and every story is an invitation back to yourself.
ILLUSTRATION & VISUAL DESIGN
We help plan and design the visual look for weddings, events and brands.
Think custom scarves, prints, or designs that tell a story.
Patterns & Textiles
We create hand-drawn patterns for fabrics, stationary and products.
For licensing, and custom projects.
Scarves & Creative kits
We design silk scarves and creative kits you can wear, collect, and gift.
Each one starts as a painting made in our studio.
CREATIVE EXPERIENCES
We host art and embroidery workshops, journaling nights, and other creative events.
You don’t need to be “good at art” to join.

Meet the Artist Behind Mali
Our founder
Hi, I’m Barbara. I’m an architect, artist and designer based in New York.
I grew up loving nature, colors, and stories. Today I turn those memories into art you can wear, collect, and share.
Through Mali, I help people reconnect with their creativity and emotions in simple, real ways.
I also work with brands and events to turn their ideas into art that carries meaning and tells a story.
