The Dark Romance brief required a 'dark yet feminine design'. Classic luxury reimagined with a sleek, modern twist. That very same week I'd been taking photos of roses near my little studio. Perfectly timed to be the basis of my surface pattern design. I used a dark background to set a more elegant, traditional tone [...]

This mini collection is inspired by the garden of one of my oldest neighbours. Every time I passed their garden I wanted to draw their flowers. They invited me to take photos one afternoon and I knew it would end up being a pattern collection some day when the perfect brief came along. That day [...]

Geometrics are perfect for a timeless, masculine and modern aesthetic for packaging items like aftershave. The Quiet Geometrics brief required a muted but masculine colour palette with unexpected colour combinations. I wanted to make this pattern collection suitable for all ages and genders and think it would work on a variety of products depending on [...]
