Hello. I'm Meg Mateo Ilasco. I'm the designer and writer behind Mateo Ilasco, a studio producing a line of stationery, home, and gift products as well as offering editorial, design and illustration services.

My design and illustration work often expresses a penchant for old-fashioned methods, humble materials, manual design, and physical craft. Sometimes I'm cerebral and concept-based in approach, and other times I just want to create something that looks pleasing. My design work has received awards from The Pasadena Museum of California Art 2007 Design Biennial and Print Magazine 2006 Regional Design Annual.

I have written several books, including Craft, Inc.: Turn Your Creative Hobby into a Business as well as a smattering of articles for the San Francisco Chronicle and DailyCandy.com.

In addition, my company produces Modern Economy is a multi-designer sample sale supporting independent designers and retailers.

Thank you for visiting Mateo Ilasco! Come back soon.
