Inspiration & Sketches

Architectural Buildings In this surface design project, I wanted to explore the unique structures of Victorian style homes and other stuctures. I have combined that with a “risograph” style of saturated color palettes.

Baby Birds This pattern design collection is created for unisex baby clothing.

The style is designed to be simple yet charming for babies apparel.

Beetles & Moths With this pattern I wanted to highlight the creatures in our world that are often overlooked as undesirable. I implemented delicate linework and organic shapes.

Tropical Snake In this series of patterns, I intended to use thicker linework and a limited color palette.I wanted to take on a more modern and youthful approach.

Thank you!
