Services Offered

The Pattern House of Olonade designs several completely unique patterns for couples and their families. By visualizing your conversations, the team will transform your words into vibrant, dynamic patterns that can be treasured for generations. What they design is similar to the tartan patterns on a kilt, or the geometric shapes that embody kente cloth. For some, it may be helpful to think about it as a family crest. Your Family Patterns can be woven, upholstered, and accessorized for all aspects of your life. Your personalized design can even be printed on larger garments, like suits, jackets, pants, dresses, skirts, and hoodies. Smaller accessories such as pocket squares, scarves, slip-on shoes, small purses, and bags can also be crafted. At home, your woven Family Pattern will make an excellent statement piece and serve as a visual testament to your love, dreams, and legacy. The Family Pattern Project starts with a one-on-one conversation that is based on intimacy, and the design’s strength is born from vulnerability. The personable team at The Pattern House of Olonade takes pride in bringing couples and their loved ones closer together through design.

It’s exciting to see the vibration of your voice to turn into patterns on screen

Do you remember finding out clumps of snow are actually highly organized, majestic, crystal-like flakes? That is the feeling you have throughout the process of creating your family pattern. It’s exciting to see the vibration of your voice to turn into patterns on screen. You realize that you’re not just creating a “pretty” image. You are creating a family design with embedded purpose, power, and influence. Thus, it can’t help but to change your day, your mood, your thoughts when you see it.
What does it mean for others to see the purpose and dreams you discussed for your family while creating the pattern over your heart? What does it mean when you slide the pattern over your head when getting dressed? When you touch it with your hands?
All of these questions start to ruminate within you when working with Mason to create this meaningful work with your family. You realize the answers will continue to be forthcoming every time you look at the tapestry in your home, or put on the custom dress you made. 10 years from now the pattern will still be speaking to me and my family, 100 years from now they will be speaking to my descendants. I know I spoke love, courage, intelligence, curiosity, boldness, and the memories of my honored ancestors in our pattern. What will you speak in yours?

A story that will be passed on and told for generations

When my wife Mari and I decided to invest in a family pattern, we had no idea that we’d be embarking on a journey of self discovery together. This pattern was created literally using our voices, our family histories, and our history as a couple. The process of creating this pattern is an experience we would not trade, and there could not have been a more patient and committed facilitator of this process than Mason. As happy as we are with the finished product, we can’t say enough about how this experience has brought us closer than ever, while also allowing us to uncover a deeply profound understanding of one another. This is more than just a family flag or crest, this is our story. A story that will be passed on and told for generations of Andrews’ to come. Our endless thanks to Mason and The Pattern House of Olonade for providing such an invaluable experience.

A treasure beyond words.

This experience with Mason has been a journey through culture, history, imagination, and self-discovery. The project helped us discover new ways to honor our past, understand our present, and intentionally shape our future. Mason gave us a new approach to express ourselves as a family, more diversely than how we normally walk, talk, dress, and create.

We were given the opportunity to visualize our values beyond words and actions, and have that vision transferred into a design. Projects to capture ideas, identity, branding, legacy and then bring it to life visually, are coming for business. We believe this practice is very valuable for a family as well. Portions of the discovery process were and exciting challenge for us to dig deeper and try to “see” our thoughts. Mason masterfully guided us on a venture that helped us learn and teach more about ourselves, while creatively connecting with each other. The fruit of this effort gave us our pattern expressed in fabric, to keep for years to come. We now have a family symbol specific only to us, informed by our own speech and stories…that is a treasure beyond words.

Over the last seven years I've built the LiteWork Visualizer. This machine allows us to see sound. I am absolutely thrilled to bring this technology through The Family Pattern Project to couples and help them visualize their thoughts about their dreams, aspirations, and inspirations.

I like my music upbeat, uptempo, and odd-metered. I love to garden and I'd love to help you out with your plants.

There is a Yorùbá proverb, "Become-As-I-Am is what the world wants." Similar the english version, "misery loves company," we like to that happiness loves company. My fiancée and I had such a wonderful time in pre-marital counseling that I wanted to share that experience. Thus, The Family Pattern Project is constructed like our counseling sessions. Questions are asked of the two of you that will require you to joyfully examine yourselves. Questions like, "If Trust were an animal, how would it move? Steady and predicable, like a tortoise? Unwavering and certain, like an elephant? Or would you know it by how it moves, like an octopus? Align the movement of an animal with your understanding of Trust."
