My love for textiles began in Brazil, where I grew up watching my mother sew and embroider our clothes. At 16, I received my first knitting machine—a gift that shaped what would become a lifelong passion for design and making.

Over the years, I have created everything from clothing to home accessories, always guided by a deep appreciation for color, texture, and craftsmanship. Working with beautiful, thoughtfully designed fabrics—especially Marimekko—has allowed me to bring that passion into the world of interiors.

Today, through Eliana Rajao Designs, I create handmade pillow covers and home textiles using carefully selected designer fabrics. Many pieces are one-of-a-kind, and all are made with attention to detail, quality, and a love for timeless design.

Based in the Boston–Cambridge area, I also work with clients on custom pieces, helping bring their vision to life in a way that reflects their personal style, space, and needs.

I believe that your home should feel like you—comfortable, beautiful, and unique. My goal is to create pieces that add character and warmth to your space.

Thank you for being here and supporting handmade 💛
