In 2011, Eileen Kathryn Boyd was selected by Duralee, a leader in the textile industry, to be their first "Duralee Designer." She stepped up to the challenge and, true to her signature style, created a colorful collection filled with vibrant hues and bold patterns. Her fashion-forward sensibilities are unmistakable as soon as one crosses the threshold into her design atelier and interiors shop. Though she often finds inspiration through nature, music, museums and her insatiable wanderlust, she can mostly be found tearing out pages of fashion magazines, searching for unusual color combinations and intriguing pattern mixes.
