At Lovewild Design—proudly queer-owned and NYC-made—we believe all goods tell a story. It's not just pretty pictures or packaging; it’s how we see ourselves, how we find community, and how we heal. That’s why queer visibility in design isn’t “extra”—it’s essential. Here’s why showcasing LGBTQ+ experiences in art, home goods, and skincare matters to us, and how we’re weaving those stories into our very own House Made Collection.
Why Queer Representation Fuels Creativity
-
Authentic Connection: When you spot a rainbow-swirled bath bomb or a zine section on trans joy, you know you belong. Visibility says, “We see you, and so does the world.”
-
Community Building: Celebrating queer artists—whether it’s through our limited-edition prints or our packaging— it creates safe spaces.
-
Breaking Stereotypes: From bold color palettes in our Calendula Lotion Bar to the unisex, earthy aroma of our Everybody Butter, we design without gendered rules.
