New bright & colourful surface pattern designs for picnic blankets

Drawings/illustrations, graphic design, print design

I am excited to show you the new designs I have created for a well-established picnic blanket company in Australia – Saltwater Picnic Co. These have been launched recently and I am so happy with how they have turned out! The first print is a Mandala design that is licensable from my website. 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:

Sticker designs for outdoor swimming brand

graphic design

I’m so excited to announce that my first designs for Wilda are live! These stickers are available to buy on Wilda’s website. Hand drawn by me. Check them out here and in the slideshow below.

Here are some of my original drawings for this project:

This was my first time working with a swimwear brand. It’s been a pleasure working with this lovely team of people. Looking forward to new and exciting upcoming projects inspired by this amazing sport that has a very special place in my heart. I am a swimmer myself and really enjoy wild swimming and jumping in the pool.

Just keep swimming!

Wilda has also created a little write up about me that you can find on their website if there is a product I have helped to design:

Superheroes & Dinosaurs

More prints to show you… I created a lot of prints for Kite Clothing when I was working for them in-house. I designed all the graphics and prints for their AW22, SS23 and AW23 collections. I also worked on some knitwear designs, embroideries and appliques. I particularly liked working for this brand because there was always a happy and meaningful story behind each design. It was fun picking themes and coming up with new designs. I was able to work with bold and bright colours and help finalise colour palettes. Colour is always something I enjoy playing with!

There are two prints from their AW23 range that I viewed recently on their website and wanted to show you why I like them. The first is the Superheroes print, a favourite because it basically implies that anyone or anything can be a superhero! I had a lot of fun playing with the colours in this one all the animals just look so happy! The other depicts a range of dinosaurs, I like this one, because although it’s a bit simpler then the superheroes, it shows a different style and still has a lot of character. I am also a fan of dinosaurs.

Check out my other designs for Kite and other kidswear brands by going to my portfolio tab at the top of my website.

New print alert! I designed this print for Kite Clothing‘s winter 2023 collection and it’s one of my favourites. It is bright, colourful and happy. Coinciding with mental health day this week, I like that this print is uplifting and will hopefully bring joy to buyers. I really enjoyed working with this company before I left last year to go freelance. You can see the print on Kite’s website by searching ‘nimbus’. Alternatively click here to see it on a snowsuit. I’ve also included some images below of products that feature this print.

Biggest commission yet!

Paintings

I finished my biggest commission so far! It’s 1.5m x 1m. I have to admit, I did find it tough finding an easel that would fit this sized canvas. I had to borrow one from my local University as my personal one wasn’t big enough. This painting went through quite a few stages. I changed the centre boat more than once and there are several layers to the landscape. I was working from a photograph, as the client wanted this painting in memory of someone who passed away. You can see the journey of this painting below through photos that I took along the way.
