Jackie Tahara founded UnBlink Studio in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, where she is happily surrounded by mountains, forests, beaches and the Pacific Ocean. If she’s not working in her garden studio creating her unique surface pattern designs, she might be going for a run, travelling with her family to somewhere they’ve always wanted to go, or exploring and being inspired by the natural surroundings of her West Coast home.

Jackie is admittedly obsessed with creating perfect, flowing and beautifully-coloured patterns, and her designs can now be found on a wide range of products, including fashion, home décor, wallpaper, textiles and more. Her inspirations are many, and she is constantly experimenting with new ideas, motifs and colour palettes. For her new collaboration with NoMiNoU, Jackie gives expression to her Japanese-Canadian heritage with beautiful designs inspired by the culture and natural beauty of Japan.
