About Gooseberry Designs

Welcome to Gooseberry Designs! Our studio is dedicated to good design and beautifully made products. We specialize in hand-drawn maps + illustrations for any occasion, in addition to our line of Home + Paper goods. We believe that style + the environment go hand in hand. We source high quality, eco-friendly materials for our hand-crafted goods, which we design and make in our studio in charming downtown Los Gatos, California. It's Easy Being Green! I’m Nina Kulick, designer and founder of Gooseberry Designs. I love tea, reading, watching mysteries, animals, illustrating and traveling the world. I am not a professionally trained artist - I illustrate for fun and I’m self taught. I am a neuroscientist by education with a background in sleep research and behavioral disorders but I have always been creating art, since childhood. My daughter inspired me to start Gooseberry when she was born (18 years ago), so, I put my scientific career on the shelf and raised my daughter and my business. People often ask me if I miss being a scientist and I always answer the same way: I’ve never stopped being a scientist! Being a Mother and a Small Business Owner requires experimentation, imagination, trial and error and gumption. They are the hardest jobs I’ve ever had, but I’m so grateful to do what I do. Today, we are 3 generations of women, working and creating together. Every day in the studio is different...and always fun! I hope you enjoy our creations!Read their story
