A Creative Professional Designer
Since 2018 I have been passionately studying and developing my skills with portfolio in surface pattern design. I run a small independent shop sell my designs on Homewares locally and online. Click here for my licensing portfolio or Enquire here. I would love to hear from you.
My process for a Pattern design project or Illustration starts with inspiration from a trip, walk or trend followed by a mood board. I take lots of photos of anything that catches my eye and use my sketch pad to develop ideas to create motifs, illustrations and/or draw a whole repeat by hand. The last stage is colour, sometimes I use pens and paints before I scan ( i love pro-markers and gouache) or colour in photoshop or illustrator using a colour palette. All my work ends up as a CMYK high resolution digital file so it can be easily printed.
