Beautiful prints sell beautiful products - and striking visuals sell them even faster. I do both.
I design original textile prints, surface patterns, and AI product photography for fashion, home, and lifestyle brands that want work that looks distinctly theirs - not templated, not stock, not like anyone else on the shelf.
TEXTILE & SURFACE PATTERN DESIGN
With 5+ years across apparel, home décor, and lifestyle, I take a print from first sketch to factory-ready file:
✦ Seamless repeats & motifs — florals, geometric, boho, heritage, abstract
✦ Colorways, color stories & trend-aligned palettes
✦ Production-ready files — layered PSD, TIFF, 300 DPI, print-tested
✦ Surface design for every product that wears a print — apparel & fashion prints, bedsheets & home linen, curtains, scarves, wallpaper, packaging, print-on-demand
✨ AI PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY & CAMPAIGN VISUALS (my signature edge)
Very few textile designers also create AI imagery — I do, and it sets my work apart. Photoshoot-quality visuals without the photoshoot:
✦ AI product & lifestyle photography that looks shot, not generated
✦ AI fashion & campaign visuals, with models and on-figure shots
✦ Brand moodboards and short-form video, matched to your brand's tone
PHOTOSHOP, START TO FINISH
Adobe Certified Professional in Photoshop — it's my production home for everything above, plus the graphic work brands need around their products:
✦ T-shirt & apparel graphics, posters, and print-ready marketing artwork
✦ Photo editing, retouching & image cleanup for ecommerce
Clients describe the work as "elegant, detailed, and beyond expectations" — ★5.0. I've designed prints and full collections for fashion and lifestyle brands from South Asia to the Gulf, and I bring that same level of craft to every brief, whatever the scale.
Working together is simple: share your brief → receive refined concept directions for approval → final production-ready delivery. Clear timelines, direct communication, and revisions until it's right — no chasing, no guesswork on your end.
If you want prints with a genuine point of view — or AI visuals that pass for the real thing — send your brief. I'll pull relevant samples within 24 hours so you can see the fit before you commit. ✦
Specialties: surface pattern design, seamless repeats, textile & fabric print design, bedsheet & home textile design, fabric printing, colorways, production-ready files, wallpaper & packaging patterns, print-on-demand, t-shirt graphics, poster design, photo editing & retouching, AI product photography, AI campaign visuals.
