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!
