About

Materials & Color Designer

My name is AnnMarie DaSilva Harris, and I am a designer driven by an innate passion for storytelling through Material, Color, Prints, and Trends. With expertise spanning Handbags, Accessories, Children’s Apparel, Footwear, and Home, I thrive in creating designs that are both innovative and deeply connected to culture, craftsmanship, and self-expression.

Inspired by travel, spiritual connections, and expressive colors, I approach every project with a no-boundaries mentality—constantly pushing creative limits and redefining possibilities. My work reflects a deep appreciation for textiles, surface design, and material innovation, ensuring that every piece is both aesthetically compelling and commercially successful.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textile Design/Fiber Arts from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, complemented by specialized training in 3D design through Browzwear (FIT) and a Footwear Design & Development certificate from Lasell University. Beyond technical expertise, I am passionate about digital innovation, trend forecasting, and skill-sharing, believing that education and collaboration are key drivers of progress in design.

When I’m not immersed in the creative process, you’ll find me mountain biking with my husband, mentoring at-risk youth through design education, and continuously expanding my knowledge through professional courses. I believe that design is more than just aesthetics—it’s a powerful tool to inspire, connect, and shape a better world.
