I’m a textile, surface, and graphic designer with a sensitive eye for color, composition, and detail. I create fabric prints, patterns, and visual identities that combine conceptual thinking with strong visual impact. My work moves between the tactile and the digital, from hand-drawn illustrations and textile experiments to refined compositions created with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I love developing designs with intention and meaning. Each project grows from a concept or small research process that gives depth to the final visual result. I believe design becomes powerful when it is rooted in an idea. How I can help you: • Textile and surface pattern design (seamless repeats, fabric prints) • Conceptual pattern development for fashion and lifestyle brands • Graphic design for branding, print, and digital contexts • Moodboards, color palette development, and visual storytelling • Hand-drawn and digital illustrations • Print-ready artwork for textile production and embroidery My approach blends curiosity, experimentation, and craftsmanship, turning ideas into designs that feel thoughtful, distinctive, and alive. 🌞 I’d love to collaborate and help bring your visual world to life.

Top Rated Plus mural & wallpaper designer with 25+ years of experience creating luxury wallcoverings and large-scale patterns. I have collaborated with international high-end wallpaper brands and interior designers to produce exclusive large-format murals and surface patterns. I help wallcovering brands, interior designers, and decor companies transform ideas, sketches, references, or AI-generated concepts into refined, production-ready wallpapers, murals, and surface pattern designs. I specialize in bespoke mural illustrations, seamless repeat patterns (including complex half-drop repeats), textile designs, and large-scale artwork for custom oversized wallpapers, fabrics, bedding, ceramics, and decor products. Beyond creating beautiful visuals, I focus on the technical details that make a surface design truly work: scale, repeat structure, colorways, panelization, file preparation for large-format printing, print quality, and how the artwork will live in a real interior. If you already have visual references, AI-generated images, sketches, or a clear creative direction, I can help you refine them into polished, exclusive, production-ready artwork — without losing the human taste, craftsmanship, and coherence that luxury design requires. Clients describe me as responsive, detail-oriented, and highly committed to making each project look exceptional. If you’re looking for a designer who understands both the artistic and technical sides of wallpaper, murals, and surface pattern design, I’d be happy to help.
