Surreal Pattern Design & Custom Illustrations
I turn abstract emotions into intricate, seamless patterns for your textiles, interiors, or brand merchandise. Each design is a piece of my 'emotional ecosystems'—narrative art you can wrap around your world.

About Product & Pattern Design
My patterns aren't just aesthetic fills; they are 'emotional ecosystems' built to tell a story on physical surfaces. Whether you need a repeating print for a resort shirt, custom wallpaper for an interior space, or unique graphics for merchandise, I manage the transition from ink and gouache to high-resolution digital files myself. You get artwork that retains its texture and depth, ready for professional print production without losing the nuance of the original sketch.
How We Can Collaborate
My approach to pattern design is collaborative and process-driven. I don't just supply a flat image; I help you build a visual narrative that fits your product's specific dimensions and material constraints.
The Process I usually start with hand-drawn elements—ink, gouache, or pencils—to ensure there is a tangible, human quality to the work. Once the concept is locked, I move to digital tools to create the seamless repeat. This hybrid process allows me to maintain the 'emotional ecosystem' theme while ensuring the file is technically optimized for high-quality printing on fabric, paper, or ceramics.
Common Applications
- Textiles & Apparel: I design seamless patterns for clothing brands (like my resort shirt concepts) where scale and repeat frequency are vital for the final cut and sew.
- Interior Decor: From unique wallpaper patterns that set a specific mood to archival prints for office spaces, I tailor the visual density to the scale of the room.
- Merchandise: If you are building a brand identity—like stationery, tote bags, or home goods—I create spot illustrations or full patterns that act as an extension of your brand story.
What to Consider Before Reaching Out When you message, let me know the medium. A pattern meant for a silk scarf requires different technical considerations than one meant for heavy vinyl wallpaper. I focus heavily on the emotional narrative—what is the 'feeling' the pattern should evoke? If you have a mood board or specific color palette in mind, that helps me frame the initial sketch work. I handle everything from the conceptual thumbnail stage through to the final, print-ready files, ensuring you have exactly what you need to go to production.
