About

Collected by Design Essentials PNW is a reflection of the things I'm drawn to.

I'm Wendy Burdett—designer, photographer, and founder of Design Essentials PNW. Through Collected, I share the objects I bring home, the photographs I capture, and the stories I want to remember.

Each piece is chosen for its material, texture, history, or quiet presence. From original photography and paper goods to vintage objects collected over time, everything is selected with intention and a belief that the things we live with should have meaning.

Created is an extension of my design practice, Collected celebrates thoughtful observation, lasting craftsmanship, and the beauty found in everyday details.

Some things I bring home. Others I capture. All of them become part of the story.
