Hey there! 👋🏻I’m Anaïs Lobmeyer, a French artist and designer who traded baguettes for barbecues when I made Melbourne my home in 2019.I’ve got a bit of an obsession with bold patterns, vibrant colors, and statement accessories — because, honestly, we need more colors in this world! My passion for all things bright and audacious inspired me to launch Release The Zebra, my branding and design studio, in 2021. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to create unique, eye-catching designs for playful brands and creative industry festivals. (www.releasethezebra.com)As someone who firmly believes that self-expression should be as colorful as possible, I couldn’t resist the urge to dive into the world of accessories. In 2024, I kicked off Funky Zebra: a vibrant side project where I could let my creativity run wild and experiment with fun, colorful designs on a more personal level. Every jewel that you will find here is made by myself, from the pattern I designed to the hand-painting.Now, if you’re curious about my zebra obsession, here’s a fun tidbit: in French, we call high-potential individuals “zebras.” The whole idea behind Release The Zebra and Funky Zebra is to help you (and me!) unleash that potential through art and design. 🦓Every piece you find here is a part of that journey: a celebration of individuality, a splash of color, and, most importantly, a whole lot of fun.Thanks for reading me and, above all, thanks for supporting handmade art! 💜
