Carla Venticinque-Osborn is the artist and designer behind PO-EM. She is a first generation American, with a mother from Colombia and a father from Sicily/Argentina. These cultural roots often influence her designs, exploring themes of belonging and renewal alongside patterns influenced by folk arts and ancient motifs.
PO-EM was founded in 2015 as a way to bridge her designs with heritage production techniques and traditions, working to both celebrate and support handmade industries and to offer a poetic connection to sustainable goods.
