Print design inspired by the bird of paradise plant for ShocSox. Designed by paigecritchley.com

Bird of Paradise Design on ShocSox: A Creative Journey

Drawings/illustrations, print design

I’ve got some exciting news! One of my print designs has been used on a pair of sand socks for ShocSox! I loved creating this design and enjoyed working with this brand. The bird of paradise is one of my favourite plants, and it was great to be able to create a repeatable pattern from its beautiful leaves and flowers.

Outdoor lifestyle inspired graphics for Breath Clo.

Graphics for Breath Clo ~ SS24 Collection.

graphic design

Exciting news! My graphics are now available at Breath Clo, an outdoor lifestyle brand based in Greece. 2 of my designs feature in their new Spring Summer 2024 collection and I am really happy with them! I enjoy creating graphics inspired by nature and the great outdoors. It feels good working for brands that promote this lifestyle as I know how good it is for your mental health to get outside and keep active.

See below some of the images from their website that showcase my work. You can view the SS24 collection here.

Here are some of my sketches and edits before finalising:

This was a fun project! Please get in touch if you would like me to design a graphic for your business or personal project inspired by nature and an outdoor lifestyle.

Musical Robin

Paintings

A new painting! This is a commission I was asked to do recently. It pictures a robin sitting on the top of a Ukulele overlooking the sea. A random but wonderful request! It’s the first time I’ve painted a bird and it’s made me want to paint more of them. Birds are magnificent creatures of this planet and I’ve noticed myself becoming more and more fascinated by them. Watch this space as I have been asked to paint something very similar to this by the same customer, and I’ll be starting it soon!

I hope you all like it. Acrylic on canvas ~ 29.7cm x 42cm.

If you’d like to see more of my paintings, you can view them using the painting tab at the top of my website. Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your day!

My friend and her dog

Paintings

Here is a painting I did recently of my friend Sara and her dog, Teddy. He sadly passed away earlier this year and he was her best friend. The painting shows them both at Kamloops lake in B.C. Canada. I lived near the lake for a while when I was travelling and we would go for walks there together. I met Sara at a ski resort and we became very close friends during my travels in Canada. I hope you like it! It’s an acrylic painting 21 x 29.7 cm. Check out my other paintings on my ‘paintings’ tab at the top of my website. I am currently taking commissions, so please get in touch if you would like me to paint you something. I hope you are having a great week so far!

Prints for packaging

print design

I’ve been designing some prints for a small company called ‘UniOrganics’ that has just started up in the USA. I was asked to design a surface pattern for the packaging as well as the print for the first product. Another task was to draw some diagrams showing how to use the product, (pictured below).

Its the first time I’ve designed a surface pattern for packaging. I’m looking forward to exploring this more and looking into designing patterns for stationary and gifts.

I’ve included a small video below of the product.

Have a great day!

3 Peaks Rentals logo

graphic design

I’ve had the amazing opportunity to design a logo for a rental company in a ski resort in Canada, BC. I have gained a lot inspiration from living and working in Canada for the last few months and this particular ski resort is so beautiful. I am very lucky to be experiencing such a wonderful place. This logo is going to be on the company’s branded t-shirts and hats as well as their website and other marketing purposes. See pics below.

Wall mural progress

Paintings

Here are some pictures of the 18ft wall mural that I finished last week! So happy with how it turned out.

The height was definitely something to get used to, I had to use scaffolding and make sure I was keeping an eye on where I was putting my feet throughout the process!

It was a big challenge but also very exciting and rewarding. I hope I get to do this again one day.

What a lovely idea – bringing the outside in. Interior design is a lot of fun.

Once the room is furnished and decorated, I will be putting some more pictures up, so watch this space!
