About Tangled Designs by Nan

Art You Can Wear. A Story Worth Telling.

The story behind Tangled Designs by Nan

I've always believed that art shouldn't live only on gallery walls — it should move through the world with you. That belief is what gave birth to Tangled Designs by Nan.

My name is Nan, and I'm the artist, designer, and dreamer behind every piece in this collection. My creative journey began in an unexpected place: designing adult-themed cards and individual art pieces. It was there, in that playful and boundary-pushing space, that I discovered two things I can't live without — whimsy and color.

I spend a lot of my time exploring — mixing mediums, pushing creative limits, and asking "what happens if I try this?" That spirit of curiosity and experimentation is baked into every design I create.


What “Wearable Art” Means Here

Every design in the Tangled Designs collection is an original — created by me, from scratch. Each piece is a canvas. I approach apparel the same way I approach any art form: with intention, with bold color, and with a story to tell.

Because I mix mediums and constantly explore new techniques, no two collections feel exactly the same — and that's by design. You won't find these pieces anywhere else. When you wear something from Tangled Designs, you're wearing a genuine, one-of-a-kind creative vision.

One of the things I love most about this work is its versatility — much of my art can be applied to any of the pieces in the collection. So if you fall in love with a design, know that it might be available on more than one style. The art travels.


Made to Order, Made with Care

Every item is made to order — which means your piece is created specifically for you, when you order it. This isn't fast fashion. It's a considered, intentional process that ensures quality and minimizes waste.

Made-to-order also means you're never buying something that's been sitting in a warehouse. You're receiving something fresh, crafted with care, and made to last.


What Makes Each Piece Distinctive

  • Original artwork — every design is created by Nan, not sourced or licensed
  • Whimsy & color — bold, joyful, boundary-pushing designs that stand out
  • Mixed-medium exploration — each collection reflects Nan’s ongoing creative experiments
  • Versatile by design — many designs can be placed on multiple product styles in the collection
  • Made to order — produced fresh for each customer, with no excess inventory
  • Wearable and meaningful — pieces designed to be conversation starters, not just clothing
