SURFACE PATTERN DESIGN
Moonlight Embrace
For this mini collection, I was inspired by the neighborhood cat that sits by my porch. So I drew a simple cat silhouette with soft, round edges. It reminds me of a hand-drawn cartoon style--which the neighborhood cat could definitely be the main character of. I made it feel familiar, dimensional, and fun without being too busy. Perfect for a kids' pajama set I had in mind.
Stella
For this collection, I was inspired by geometric florals and warm earthy hues. Florals have always been a big inspiration for me but with this collection I wanted to experiment with a more simple and geometric stylized flower motif. I used basic adobe tools like the brush and rectangle tools to create the simple flower, emphasizing geometric shapes and placement. As I continued to build the prints I was naturally inspired by cozy fair isle prints. I made it to feel handmade, polished, and inviting. I created it with wallpaper in mind.
Efflorescence
For this collection, I was inspired by spring florals and warm hues. Florals are typically associated with bright, energetic colors, but I wanted these to convey a sense of warmth and home. So I used watercolor to create the motifs, emphasizing organic shapes and movement. It reminds me of cozy autumn days, curled up with a book as the warm afternoon sunlight filters through the curtains. I made it to feel handmade, comforting, and romantic. I created it with stationery and wallpaper in mind.
