CREATIVE STATEMENT
As an illustrator who specializes in whimsical characters and storytelling for children, I nurture this focus by imagining quirky characters in magic worlds and fantastic adventures. What I love most about pattern design is its ability to give birth to rich worlds full of elements, especially through detailed and intricate compositions. To create a successful pattern design all the elements need to dance together in a magical balance of repeating shapes and colours. To maintain my skillset I love keeping up with trends and also exploring the historical pattern eras to discover their countless composition options.
