​
Indigo Craane is a multimedia designer and creative director. Her practice explores digital nostalgia, materiality, and language, using fabric as a storytelling medium. Through screenprinting, visual imagery, and text, her work recontextualizes fragmented internet culture and surreal worlds into layered compositions. Themes of memory, distortion, and cultural ephemera permeate her work, offering a reinvention of the surrounding reality.
​
.At age 17, she founded Dollgarden, a multimedia clothing project that transforms garments into wearable art. It reimagines fragmented imagery and old-age internet nostalgia as tactile, lived-in pieces. Each garment serves as a canvas— merging personal narratives with digital ephemera, creating dreamy and experimental pieces. Dollgarden rejects mass production in favor of one-of-a-kind, remixed aesthetics.

In addition to her independent practice, Indigo Craane is the founder and event organizer of Mortem Market, a bimonthly curated market that doubles as a creative platform. As co-founder and organizer, Craane plays a central role in every aspect of the market, from curating the selection of artists and designers to shaping the overall vision of each event. Her leadership ensures that Mortem Market showcases independent, experimental fashion designers and multimedia artists local to the Los Angeles area, creating a scene where creativity thrives.
