SURFACE PATTERN DESIGN PORTFOLIO
Suyin McCaskill
I am a wife, a mother, and a surface pattern designer!
Growing up, I loved to draw and doodle. I would recreate cute characters from the stationery my sister owned and tried to get my elementary school classmates to commission drawings from me. Unfortunately, my ambitions were too high for my skill level and drawing quickly became something I hid from my peers. It wasn’t until I received patient encouragement from my husband that I started to feel passion for art again and desired to share with others.
With my rekindled love for creating art, my goal is to share my little corner of happiness. If my art has brought you joy, I would love to hear from you!

The Third Bloom collection is a representation of my third creative journey. The first “bloom” was as an elementary school child discovering the wonderful creative outlet of drawing. I continued that journey through highschool, choosing artistic electives along the way. My second creative “bloom” happened when I decided to pursue a graphic communication certificate after a discouraging and unfulfilling year of university. Now, I am at my third “bloom” when I discovered the beautiful community of surface pattern design. This discovery has been nothing but uplifting and I am excited to showcase my very first collection - Third Bloom.

The first gift my mother-in-law gave me and my husband as newlyweds was a tub full of homemade raspberry gelato. She grew and picked the raspberries herself. Now she picks berries with my children. This bold, berry filled collection was inspired by an experience shared by three generations: Picking and sharing berries!
