Our Story
Welcome to a life in color!
At Inner Child, we bring happiness into people's lives through whimsical and joyful home decor and accessories. Designed in New York City, our textiles and products are handmade, hand-loomed, or hand-printed by our skilled artisan partners around the world. We create slow textiles, made by hand.
We are passionate about craft revival, working directly with multi-generational artisans and small family-owned workshops to preserve traditional craftsmanship while creating unique, design-focused pieces that brighten your home. Our production is focused around small batch and sustainability. From using handlooms (no electricity required) to opting for AZO-free dyes, we create pieces that are made with integrity and care for the makers/end users.
About The Designer:
I'm Michelle Pham. I grew up in the coastal city of Vancouver, Canada. As the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, my parents were crafty out of necessity. They passed along a few DIY tricks and their design flair to me.
I graduated from Bates College and spent a decade working in tech at Google and TikTok, before pivoting to designing Inner Child. I live in New York City with my fiancé, Akshay.
As a maximalist, I am always searching for rare and exceptional pieces that have a great story to them. It brings me great joy to bring color and craftsmanship into your lives.
