About

Gina Brooks is a German expat living in Northern California who shares her inspirations, eclecticism and creative ingenuity with the world via her studio. She is sometimes joined by her husband Tony, a Brit who inspires her with sarcasm and a counterintuitive
point of view.

"I think of my shop as a daily design inspiration. One day i may fancy soft minimalism, a simple whimsical quote that makes me feel fuzzy inside ( like an old door or the texture and taste of a foreign place). The next something rustic and slightly bonkers may pop up in my dreams that translates into my unashamed uptown taste.
I am a typography nut."

"When I'm not designing, I spend time with my kids ( my hubby, our now 9 year old daughter Sienna and kitty Memphis Paparazzi Pepper), hang around Horse Stables, drink way too much coffee, do some occasional yoga, and try to fit in some travel adventures in between.
I feel truly happy when I can say:  I have loved my best today."

Daily Motto: Anywhere is paradise - it's up to you!

THE   TEAM

Gina and Tony Brooks

Gina is the creator and designer of Indigorain Studio. However, behind her daily passion for art is a supportive British hubby who always surprises her with a brilliant idea while making her laugh and sometimes mad.

Sienna Brooks

The creative force and shining star behind Indigorain. With her curiosity, infectious giggle and gorgeous sense of wonder she is a welcoming distraction and invaluable element for a unique perspective when designing.

Studio 1

The Studio is tucked away just north of the Golden Gate where design and inspiration come together organically. When stuck with ideas on what to draw or paint i daydream about life in Paris usually sipping thick hot chocolate on the Champs-Élysées or strolling through the heart of Montmartre.

The Workshop

It isn't usually as neat as it looks. Here chaos and creativity meet somewhere in the middle.... the perfect combination when discovering new ideas and possibilities! There is minimal strategy in the process. I admire the unfolding of the story from sketch to finish as a new piece comes to life.

Any Ideas...

I have known someone who made it look so easy to be creative. I can't say I feel the same. Most days i stumble through Life as a mother, wife, Designer and business woman. I've stopped worrying about all the lives I'm not living. What i have learned is that creativity does need to be nurtured and cared for like a child or baby pet. I am grateful I get to live my passion every day.
And I take nothing for granted.
