HELLO, I'M SEIKO!

Seiko Sisco portait

I am a PhD-chemist turned homeschool mom and surface pattern designer based in Pittsburgh, PA, USA

 

Ever since I launched my handmade baby business, Waku Waku Baby in 2019, my dream has been to design my own fabric patterns that represent my artistic voice. Five years later, I am beyond excited that my dream has not only come true, but blossomed into even bigger dreams.

​

I design patterns that are happy and playful that tell a story and capture the magic of childhood. My dream now is to have my art come alive on a variety of different surfaces and products by collaborating with other small businesses and companies. 

​

Motherhood not only helped me reconnect with my true passion, art and design, but it has also helped me reconnect with my Japanese roots. I love to incorporate a little bit of my upbringings into my design work as well.

MY INSPIRATION

My two little ones (now 6 and 4) are the constant source of my inspirations.

​

It's the small moments that bring me and my kids great joy and that is what I strive to capture in my hand-drawn motifs which I then digitize into seamless repeating patterns using adobe illustrator.

​

I love to work in collections as they allow me to tell a story of my inspiration. My mission is to bring smiles to people's faces. I'd love for you to take a look through and I hope my patterns bring a smile to your face.

​

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please reach out for any licensing or collaboration inquiries.

 

I look forward to working with you!
