A hand-drawn tribute to surf culture + saltwater souls.

With a background that spans communication design, fine art, wallpaper design, print media, and years of content creation and visual storytelling for lifestyle brands, the studio brings a multidisciplinary approach to design. Summer Swell Studio by Bailey Silva is a Hawai‘i-based creative practice rooted in fine art, surf culture, and the rhythms of coastal living.

Through bold color, layered texture, and hand-drawn forms, Summer Swell Studio explores water as both subject and metaphor. Its surface pattern designs evolve from original paintings and sketches—infused with personal narrative and a deep connection to nature. Each collection celebrates the flow, movement, and transformation found in the natural world.

Offerings include surface pattern collections, fine art, and creative collaborations that speak to both soul and story.

Let's work together! We're available for licensing partnerships, collaborations, and commissioned projects. Surface patterns are available for a wide range of products, including textiles, home decor, apparel, paper goods, and more.

We love collaborating with brands that value creativity, sustainability, and the natural world. Let's Talk!
