Leopard spot print for Cleverpup. Designed by paigecritchley.com Print Designer

Stylish Leopard Print Design for Dog Accessories

Really happy with this leopard spot print design that I created for Cleverpup, a dog accessories brand based in New York, US. This was a fun print to design and it’s always fab to see the photos once the product has been released. I think my favourite product is the transit tote, I just love the photo of the sausage dog happily sitting inside!

Prints for Sunborne - by paigecritchley.com

Vibrant Print Designs for Kidswear

Drawings/illustrations, graphic design, print design

Here are some fun and bright prints I designed for Sunborne, an outdoor lifestyle kidswear brand based in Australia.

I am very happy with how these turned out! Since I started out as a print and graphic designer I have always loved being able to experiment with colour and vibrancy. My favourite prints to create are the ones that are bold and stand out, especially if they are a little abstract.

I have to say, I love designing for Australian brands in the winter months, it’s a reminder that the sunshine is always out somewhere on this planet, despite the terrible weather we are having here in England at the moment. Can’t wait for summer!

Here are some of my favourites that I designed for the new collection:

NOWCA Sub10 Club badges - designed by paigecritchley.com

Designing Badges for Cold Water Swimming Enthusiasts

graphic design

It’s that time of the year again! It’s getting colder and lots of us are keeping up the swimming and dipping, even in under 10 degrees conditions. I was asked to design the Sub10 Club badges again for NOWCA this year. The Sub10 Club is a cold water community that swim through the Winter when water temperatures are most likely to drop below 10°C. The goal is to help and support like minded swimmers and to enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of cold water swimming in a safe setting. Read more about this awesome club by clicking >here<.
Here are the badges that I designed for 2025:

Any activities in water, especially cold water swimming has a big place in my heart as I enjoy it so much and it influences a lot of my work. I try and swim in the sea all year round, no wetsuit! Brrrrr!

I'm a print and graphic designer inspired by the ocean and nature. Visit paigecritchley.com to view my portfolio and hire me. — Me swimming at Sandbanks, Dorset, UK.

Swim, Surf & Skate Inspired Bedding Artworks

graphic design, print design

I’m so excited! My first collection for a bedding company is out now. I was asked by the lovely Jo’s Dreamland to design a range of artworks which included surfing, swimming, and skateboarding themes. I’ve mentioned a few times on previous posts that swimming and surfing has a big place in my heart and I get so much inspiration from it. I’ve also done a bit of skateboarding but I can’t say I am any good at it 🤣. I absolutely loved designing these artworks for this company. Thank you for working with me Jo’s Dreamland!

I am excited to show you the new designs I have created for a well-established picnic blanket company in Australia – Saltwater Picnic Co.

You can read how to license it and use it on your products here. It is one of my favourites and is featured on Saltwater Picnic Co’s picnic blanket in a beautiful and bright purple and yellow colour option:

The second print is the Ocean Ripple design- This particular design is a strong favourite of mine because I am always dipping/surfing in the ocean or heading to the pool for a swim. I was lucky enough to grow up by the ocean and I live very close to it now ~ it influences so much of my work. Read more about me and what else inspires my work by heading over to the ‘about me’ page on my website.

Thank you to @saltwaterpicnicco for hiring me to design these prints for you!

Design 3: The striped picnic blanket. Who doesn’t love a classic stripe! I love the simplicity of this design and the colour palette:

Cat furniture artwork for The Refined Feline - designed by paigecritchley.com

Creative Cat Furniture Artwork Design

Drawings/illustrations, graphic design

Sometimes I get asked to create artwork for products I would never expect! These artworks were created for The Refined Feline, a company selling cat furniture for feline lovers. This project was so much fun, I got to work with a bunch of bright colours and abstract shapes – my favourite kind of project!

These artworks were created for cat scratching posts but sadly didn’t get to production stages. Thankfully though I have been given permission to share them with you. I hope you like them! See below the artwork and a visual mockup of how the product would have looked, had it of been launched.

Have a great day!

surf lifestyle prints for Ava and Oliver designed by paigecritchley.com

New Surf-Inspired Prints for Kidswear Brand

Drawings/illustrations, print design

Just dropped! New surf inspired prints for Ava & Oliver, a well-established kidswear brand based in Hawaii. I really loved this project as I am a surfer myself and had a lot of fun drawing these little characters. My favourite part was drawing the dogs surfing and playing around with their positions on the board. I have seen dogs surfing before and it doesn’t look easy! Saying that though, if you have 4 feet rather than 2 like us humans, it’s probably easier to balance!

Check out some of the product photos below. I am super happy with how the prints have turned out! It’s always so rewarding and satisfying to see my artwork printed on product for people to purchase.
