Charming Surface Design & Illustration for Art Licensing in Fabric, Gifting, Home Decor, Stationery & More

I create bold, hand-drawn illustrations and playful patterns for products that stand out. With a love for color, texture, and storytelling, my work is a natural fit for home decor, fabric, gift wrap, greeting cards, and other surface design projects. As an experienced illustrator and surface designer, I license existing artwork and also partner with brands to create custom designs that feel fresh, thoughtful, and full of personality. If you’re looking for artwork that adds charm and intention to your next product line, let’s make something colorful together.
My Roles: Illustrator, Surface Designer, Art Director
My Creative Process:
Discover & Define – I begin by aligning with the brand’s vision, goals, and audience to ensure the artwork supports both function and feeling.
Inspiration & Research – I gather visual inspiration, explore trend insights, and sketch out initial ideas that blend storytelling with strong aesthetics.
Sketch & Concept Development – I create hand-drawn concepts, refining composition, style, and palette to bring the creative direction to life.
Digital Illustration & Pattern Building – I digitize my hand drawn illustrations and work digitally with bold color and playful textures, then transform motifs into seamless, eye-catching patterns.
Finalization & Delivery – I prepare polished, production-ready files, offering artwork that’s easy to apply across products and built for long-term impact.
The Problem I Solved With This Project: Products and brands need artwork that stand out in a crowded marketplace while still feeling personal and on-brand. I create thoughtful designs that connect emotionally with customers and translate across multiple product categories.
The Results: By collaborating with an artist, the brands and products gain distinctive, hand-crafted artwork that couldn’t be found in a stock library - adding real value and originality to their product line. The final designs enhanced the brand’s visual identity, made their products more memorable, and helped foster a deeper emotional connection with their customers.

Let's Collaborate If you’d like to work together, I’d love to hear from you!
