Surface Pattern Design

Surface pattern design is a way to bring colour, texture and visual storytelling into products and printed pieces. I create hand-drawn patterns that can be commissioned as custom designs or licensed from my existing collections.
Each pattern is designed to feel distinctive while working beautifully across a range of applications.
