🖌️ The Heart Behind DeSoto Designs

Hello and welcome—we’re so glad you’ve found your way here.

We’re Ilee and Uriah DeSoto, the creative duo behind DeSoto Designs. As a wife-and-husband team, we bring together a shared passion for art, storytelling, and thoughtful design. Our studio is where imagination meets emotion, and where digital tools help us create something timeless and deeply personal.

Ilee is a visual storyteller with over 25 years of experience in photography and the arts. She’s always been drawn to soulful imagery—scenes and characters that speak without words. With a background in both fine art and photography, she brings a poetic lens to everything she creates, weaving emotion into every piece.

Uriah is a talented artist and design expert whose eye for detail and modern composition gives each work its refined edge. He brings structure to the vision—balancing creativity with intention. His love for innovative tools and bold design makes every collaboration stronger.

Together, we create fictional yet emotionally rich art using digital mediums and artificial intelligence. Our work blends nostalgia, beauty, and story—often inspired by people we’ve known, places we’ve dreamed of, and the beauty found in ordinary moments.

DeSoto Designs is our shared expression, a space where we get to create, explore, and connect with others who feel moved by visual storytelling. We’re so honored to share our journey—and our art—with you.

Thank you for being part of it.
