Isabella Manfredi is an artist and designer, drawing inspiration from a shell, dead butterfly, and her grandpa’s hammer. Her textile designs are driven by her want to encapsulate digital images in tactile wearable garments, evoking she same feelings she felt when she took the pictures or found the objects. Manfredi designs clothing that plays with feminine and masculine; clothing that can be worn and labored in, gone to an event in, walked to a coffee shop in, for the city and the country.

Having learned to sew at a young age, she started screen printing on fabric in 2017 with one little screen in the painting studio while I attended UC Berkeley for Art Practice. After school she kept designing, printing and sewing all her work in her San Francisco studio. In 2024, she started working with a small screen-printed textile company in San Francisco called Cloth Editions. In 2026, she started working with a small factory in sf and one in LA. Manfredi believes in slow growth and authenticity.
