Miriam Rowe is a Barcelona-based surface pattern designer operating as WanderingModa. She partners with brands to license existing patterns or develop custom artwork for specific products and collections. Her Instagram bio distinguishes her as "no AI, just human-made surface design," with travel, history, and handmade craft as the creative foundation. Documented licensees include Amigo Games and PBS Fabrics.
Travel, historical craft traditions, and direct observation of decorative processes define WanderingModa's aesthetic. The portfolio features a broad range: botanical wildflowers, Japanese-inspired florals, damask compositions, holiday toile, and folk-derived motifs - united by handmade detail and narrative richness. Her Christmas cat toile is described as a best-selling design.
Multiple traditional methods inform her output: Roman stone mosaic study (with the Cassio family), classical Eastern ink painting, Florentine paper marbling and bookbinding observation, and stone name-seal carving at National Taiwan University. Hand-drawing, watercolour, and gouache are documented media.
Tabletop games, fabric collections, subscription boxes, lifestyle products, home textiles, wallpaper, stationery, and gift wrap are documented licensing categories. Confirmed licensees: Amigo Games (tabletop games) and PBS Fabrics (Kudzu fabric collection).
Studio based in Barcelona. Rowe has studied traditional artistic processes directly with practitioners across multiple countries - Roman stone mosaic, Eastern brush painting, Florentine paper marbling, and seal carving. This active craft research forms the foundation of her Barcelona studio practice.
Broad range: botanical wildflowers, Japanese art nouveau (koi, lotus, fan motifs), European damask (Eixample-inspired), Florentine marbling, holiday and seasonal toile, mooncake motifs, succulents, mushroom forest, and folk-derived compositions. Japanese influence appears across multiple named portfolio pieces. All designs hand-drawn.
