Hello! My name is Josephine Tournier Ingram, I am the owner/designer of a Santa Barbara based earth-friendly graphic clothing line called ECOZUZU. With an eco-celebrity following, ecozuzu clothing is all about being cool, comfy and conscious. A sustainable brand that epitomizes beachy, laid back Santa Barbara.

I've been creating fine art since I was a little kid and love drawing, painting, collage, assemblage, printmaking, graphic art and design. I originally fell in love with designing graphics for apparel when I worked for Powell Skateboards and Surf One as a senior graphic designer. Soon after working there, I started creating my own graphic clothing as Christmas presents for my family and friends. To my surprise, people started asking me where they could buy my shirts, which led me to dream of creating a clothing boutique commited to preserving the environment. My dream became reality a few years ago with the launch of ecozuzu.

With the help of friends, family and buyers, Ecozuzu is a collaborative brand that is sold around the globe. We offer a range of eco-friendly men and women's surf style graphic clothing. We are also launching a new kids line for in spring/summer 2011! Look for our debut this spring at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art Museum Store where I will be a guest artist the evening of March 3rd, 2011.

We offer apparel and accessories that are made out of 100% certified organic cotton. We also offer apparel made out of recycled materials such as disposable food containers, soft drinks and water bottles! Our eco-apparel is made from low impact dyes. Our high quality fabrics are super soft and comfortable! The graphics are also silkscreen printed using 'green' printing methods with non-toxic water-based earth friendly inks. All of our tags are also printed on 100% recycled paper with eco-friendly soy inks. Even our gift packaging is made from local recycled materials.

From the big picture to the small details, we run our entire business as environmentally conscious as possible. Together we can make a difference!

Santa Barbara Featured in Current Edition of ReadyMade Magazine

Posted by Kristen


As an artist and creative person, ReadyMade is one of my favorite magazines. My friend Stephanie affectionately refers to it as "craft porn," and that pretty much sums up how I feel about it.

Last night when I got the latest edition in my mailbox, I ran to the bed to get my relax on (and get warm! I know it's Santa Barbara and all, but it's been c-c-c-old here lately!), and I flipped it open. I couldn't believe my eyes! Santa Barbara was the focus of the Place Setting feature!

I was so stoked to read about Santa Barbara in the way that I know and love it - a place that is home to so many heart and soul creative types. I feel so blessed to live here and to be part of the Santa Barbara creative community, and I am especially excited about this newly formed Santa Barbara Etsy Team!

PS - My bio is coming soon! I promise! :) but in the meantime, you can find out more about me on my blog, kristenwalker.com.
