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:

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.

Happy avocados!

print design

I was hired to design a print for a new babywear company called Tiny Blooms. The print features hand painted cute smiley avocados. I have to say, I am a sucker for an avocado! I even eat them on their own with a spoon (topped with some salt and pepper of course). So as you can imagine, I loved creating this design.

See are some images showing the design and how it looks on the final product. I am really happy with how it’s turned out.

Teddy bears!

print design

I created a print design recently that features lots of little teddy bears! The brand is called Bianca and Bear and my work is now live on their website! The print features on a lovely jogger set, see it here, or view the images below. I always enjoy creating prints for kids and baby wear as it allows me to draw really cute motifs and elements with fun characteristics. I’ve added some images below of the final product and artwork.

I also designed the embroidered bear that features on Bianca and Bear’s other products. I’ve posted a photo below:

Superheroes & Dinosaurs

graphic design

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.

Swirled in colour

print design

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.

Prints for kids!

print design

It’s here! My first collection with Kite Clothing is available to view online and purchase. It’s my first set of designs for a kids & baby apparel brand. Designing for kids is so exciting as you can have a lot of fun with it. I also did a lot of marketing for this company which was really enjoyable as I got to be very creative with it, including designing a font. This was a first for me but I was really pleased with the outcome. If you go to my portfolio and see the drawings/illustration section, you can view the font I designed.

I am super excited to add these designs to my portfolio. You can view this and my other work on the portfolio tab at the top of my website.

Some of my favourite designs are pictured below. I did 3 collections with this brand so watch this space.
