SUYIN MCCASKILL 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!

LET US FORAGE // COLLECTION / /
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!
