Hello, my name is Rebekah Strunz-Sherpa and I’m the owner/designer behind April Hitchcock Surface Design. April Hitchcock Surface Design is a surface pattern design company based in Newcastle, Australia where I was born and raised. In 2015 I went backpacking in India and Nepal, and it was on the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal where I fell in love with a local trekking guide. Three months later, just after one of the biggest earthquakes Nepal has seen in recorded history, I quit my job, sold or donated most of my belongings, and found myself on a train with nothing but a backpack. I was on my way back to Nepal where I ended up living for 8 months (2 of them in a remote village in the Everest region!), married my husband, and found out we were expecting our first child. The story of this time of my life is long and filled with adventure, but most importantly, it is during this time that I began to truly dance with creativity and rediscovered my passion for art and surface pattern design. In the year following the birth of our son, I began to fully immerse myself in the world of surface design and discover my voice as a designer. My designs are playful and whimsical, always colourful, and strongly influenced by nature. I prefer to design tossed repeats, layering elements that may appear to be hidden at first glance, but continue to tell a story everytime you look at them. I have been inspired by so many other creatives on my journey, some surface designers and some not, and I’m truly grateful for the role these people have had in my work and my life. Creativity is how I nourish my soul, and I hope that I and my work can go on to inspire others to follow their hearts and find their creative voice.

Spring has arrived, and as the earth warms up the garden begins to awaken once more. The earth breathes fresh life into every leaf and seed, flowers begin to bloom. The smell of new life hangs in crisp, dew laden air. Children spend the days exploring with a sense of awe and wonderment, playing in the garden of new life, digging in the dirt, chasing butterflies and laughing at snails.
