Jenndigo?
I am frequently asked how I came up with Jenndigo as a name for my design business. It’s a name that came to me on a road trip, trying to sum up my passion for textile design.
I fell in love with Indigo in my high school art class. Inspired by all types of art, I dabbled in classes ranging from drawing to weaving to batik. In batik class I was introduced to the magic of Indigo. Eventually I became in charge of setting up the dye Vats. This is where I really got an intimate exposure to the complexity of Indigo. I love the smell of the pigment as it dissolves in the water, the way the different hues appear and swirl around until they blend together. Even the froth on the top of the vat sparkles with pigment. Each color had it’s own beauty, but the Indigo dye vat struck a chord with me. So much so, I named my first-born child, Indigo.
When it came time to actually put a name to my design work, I came up with Jenndigo. A name that is the essence of me and my passion, Jennie and Indigo.
