about

studio jLd

studio jLd is a design studio creating distinctive, functional objects for everyday life. Drawing on Jennifer's background in art direction and her deep knowledge of color, pattern, and materials, the studio creates objects that are both useful and visually expressive.

At the heart of the studio are textiles that Jennifer hand weaves on a loom or hand tufts, making each piece inherently unique. In an age of mass-produced goods, handmade textiles offer a sense of rarity, materiality, and human touch that cannot be replicated by machine. Often one-of-a-kind, these works become the foundation for pillows, rugs, runners, totes, bags, stools, and other functional objects.

Each piece balances thoughtful design with tactile materials and a strong sense of color. studio jLd is for people who value objects with character—heirloom pieces made slowly and intentionally, bringing materiality, pattern, and individuality into everyday life.

Artist Statement

Jennifer Linton’s work investigates relationships—humanity’s fractured kinship with the ecological world, and the forces that shape our connections. With a focus on ecological distress and the pitfalls of human life, her work seeks to unpack the assumptions and patterns of thought that lead to practices ultimately harming us, both collectively and individually. At the same time, some works celebrate the profound awe and wonder of the natural world. Using fiber sourced from living landscapes, Linton approaches these realities through a quiet, contemplative visual language rather than confrontation. Her work considers how human choices reverberate across species and environments, while nature continues to offer models of resilience, reciprocity, and interdependence.
