I specialise in Surface Pattern design, licensing my art for Giftware, Fabric & Stationery
Hello!
​
I am a freelance Illustrator & Surface Pattern Designer with
a diverse experience spanning 26 years, working with publishers and design companies across Britain, Europe & the USA.
​
My work is diverse, and has a strong commercial appeal such that my designs have been extensively published across the Design industry - in stationery & gift wrap, greeting cards, giftware, children's books, toys and textiles.
I started out working in-house at Gisela Graham Ltd in 2004 (and before that with Floss & Rock, formerly Think Pink) where my designs featured in Harrods, Liberty's, John Lewis, Marks & Spencers and Mothercare, as well as smaller retailers.
​
I later worked with a Textile agent for a few years and subsequently fell in love with making repeat patterns!
I now live and work in Bath as a freelance illustrator/designer, working with clients on commissioned work as well as licensing my designs across the Giftware, Stationery & Fabric industries.​
I use a happy blend of hand painted artwork with the wonderful digital tools; Photoshop & Procreate to compose my repeat patterns.​



Please do get in touch if you are interested in licensing any designs or commissioning work.
