From pencil to print—rooted in design, crafted with care, and always mindful of the planet we share
About the Brand
Yellow Wood Studios is a creative brand rooted in thoughtful design, playful aesthetics, and the winding paths of artistic exploration. Inspired by the famous poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost—and the yellow wood of a well-loved pencil—our studio is built around the idea of choosing your own way, creating with intention, finding beauty in the unexpected.
Founded by artist and storyteller, Bri Derfiny, Yellow Wood Studios blends hand-drawn illustration with a love of nature, small details, and a personality that doodles in the margins. Whether it’s a sticker, a print, or a wearable design, everything we make is created to spark joy, start a conversation, or simply make your walls a little more interesting.
What We Stand For
Sustainability: Our shop is fully print-on-demand, which means we only create what’s needed—minimizing waste and making it easier to support ethical, intentional production. It’s better for the planet and better for your conscience.
Nature & Creativity: From leafy doodles to starlit skies, the natural world shows up everywhere in our work. We believe art and nature go hand in hand—both offer a space to reflect, breathe, and feel connected.
Playful Design: Our aesthetic is clean but quirky, with a soft spot for mid-century modern, warm color palettes, and designs that don’t take themselves too seriously.
Authenticity Over Algorithms: We choose meaning over mass appeal. Yellow Wood Studios is proudly independent, woman-owned, a little weird, and always full of heart.
Why Yellow Wood?
The road less travelled is often the most rewarding—and because every idea starts with a yellow pencil and a blank page. We believe creativity should be sustainable, a little weird, and always full of heart.
Whether you’re here for art that makes you smile, gear that makes a statement, or stories told through color and line, thank you for being part of the journey.
