What is Surface Pattern Design?

You may be wondering what is a Surface Pattern Designer and what do they do?  They are an artist/creative who design patterns to be applied to a surface. Majority of the times the patterns are in a repeat and can be seen on fabric, wallpaper or gift wrap – but in reality the list is endless! These patterns can be hand-drawn, painted or created digitally, using various software programs.

Majority of my designs are hand-drawn and then scanned into my computer. I will then digitally manipulate the individual motifs in Adobe Photoshop and/or Adobe Illustrator depending on the  feel and look of the design. 

If you have any questions about Surface Pattern Design then please feel free to contact me or follow me on my journey on Instagram.

Below is a snippet of my design process for my project ‘Keep in touch’ where I designed a set 6 eco-friendly postcard prints

that you can  frame, feel or grow.
