I'm Hayley Meehan, the textile artist and founder of Design Create Inspire NZ. I design and hand-make unique toys, accessories and decorations from my home in Lower Hutt.
My artistic journey is inspired by the beauty of nature and the joy of motherhood. From cosy hats and scarves to imaginative toys, Christmas decorations and thoughtful gifts - each item is hand-crafted with exquisite detail and quality from beginning to end. I’m passionate about working with natural fibres like wool and cotton and employ traditional techniques such as knitting, crochet and hand-embroidery to create my unique products.
A small range of my creations are available in my online felt shop. However, if you're like me and enjoy browsing art in person, you can visit one of my beautiful stockists to see a wider range of products on offer up close. I love partnering with these stores and galleries that celebrate locally made products — they're exactly the kind of shops I love exploring when I travel myself. It's incredibly rewarding to see my creations reach people all over the country through these beautiful independent shops, and I still get a thrill every time I imagine one of my pieces finding its way into someone's hands and becoming part of their story.
Thank you for visiting! I invite you to explore my collections and find the perfect gift to treat yourself or someone special in your life. Your support allows me to continue doing what I love while nurturing my family. Feel free to reach out with any questions or custom requests.
If you're interested in learning more about me, my latest creations and to see what's coming up, you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram.
