Introducing

Modern Diasporic Design

It’s where African-American and diasporic cultural influence meets clean modern structure, rich materials, expressive pattern, warm woods, collected objects, and interiors that feel elevated without feeling untouchable.

It isn’t about decorating a room around a theme.

It’s about creating spaces that feel rooted in story.

Spaces that can hold heritage and modernity at the same time.

Hey Y'all 👋🏾

I'm Sharise

Multidisciplinary artist, illustrator and surface designer.

ThirtyOne Illustrations was built on the belief that art in our homes should do more than fill a wall or decorate a room. It should tell a story. It should spark conversation.

I create art that connects heritage and modern design so people can see their stories reflected in the spaces they live with every day. I'd love for every space touched by my work to reflect the stories and style of its curator.

Through pattern, color, and illustration, my work bridges heritage and modern living—bringing together influences from interior design, fashion, culture, and family traditions.

Because when art reflects who we are, our homes become more than beautiful spaces.

They become places where our stories live.
