PATTERN COLLECTIONS

SURFACE PATTERN DESIGNER, KIDS BOOKS AUTHOR & ONLINE ART TEACHER

I love to create things. Whimsical fabric patterns. Cute Children's Books. Fun Online Art Classes. The best Guacamole ever (says everybody I met). At the age of 2 as I held my first crayon, I was instantly falling in love with the wonderful world of art. I began to draw and from there my style evolved. Today I am known for my whimsical, playful animal fabric designs. They will bring boundless joy to playrooms, kids apparel and décor. I am also a kids books author, you can buy my first book "Cute Animals" on Amazon.

Want to know more about my process? Beginning with a blank sheet of paper, I first sketch my motifs, allowing my ideas to flow freely. I then move to the digital realm, using Procreate to refine my motifs, adding color afterwards. Last but not least I redraw my motifs in Adobe Illustrator, creating the final pattern. Passionate about sharing my creative knowledge and igniting the spark of art in others, I started teaching on Skillshare and Udemy just recently.

Each design within the collection celebrates the world of fruits: Imagine a bustling fruit stand filled with juicy apples a charming cherry bowl inviting you to indulge, a net bag brimming with refreshing watermelons, and a gingham picnic pattern adorned with luscious strawberries.

Whether it's indoor or outdoor pillows, quirky wallpaper, curtains, or table linen, this collection is perfect for décor any kind.

The bold palette evokes the vibrant hues of a sunny day, ranging from the warm glow of a yellowy sun to the enticing shades of orange peach, cherry red, watermelon green, and calming ocean blue.
