A match-made-in-heaven partnership between Parker Heath and Ayara was born from a chance meeting at Las Vegas Market, where Parker was exhibiting to gain further exposure for his own brand, PAR KER Made. What blossomed was the PAR KER Made x Ayara luxury removable wallpaper collaboration. 

In addition to being an artist and small business owner, Parker is also a professional freestyle BMX rider and model, allowing him to bring a unique perspective to product design. He combines modern line work with bohemian style, creating an unmistakable aesthetic that translated perfectly to wallcoverings. 

Ayara Wallpaper was founded by two talented women, Lori Frost and Tasha Brown, who share a passion for creating quality removable wallpapers that are easy to incorporate into modern homes. Lori Frost is a surface pattern designer, experienced in creating designs for wallpaper, fabric, swimwear, and digital products, and has worked with top brands, including West Elm, Anthropologie, and Nordstrom. Tasha Brown comes to wallpaper from a unique background as a social worker which informs Ayara’s dedication to numerous charitable causes, including The Children’s Justice Center.
