The Importance of Reviews for Freelancers

About Me

I just want to say, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write me a review. It’s always so lovely to hear when someone has enjoyed working with me and is fond of my work, it helps me stay positive and continue freelancing. As some of you may already know, freelancing isn’t plain sailing and it does have its difficult times. However, I’m so pleased I took the jump into freelancing and have thoroughly enjoyed these last couple of years creating my business!
Thank you for your continued support.

Here are some of my latest reviews from clients:

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:

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.

Whale shark print design by paigecritchley.com

Ocean-Inspired Collaboration: Whale Shark Design

Drawings/illustrations, print design

I’m super happy to have designed this whale shark print for Ocean Armour, it’s always great to see my artwork come to life and this particular design is one of my favourites.  As a freelance Print & Graphic Designer, I was asked to create a custom design for a buff, inspired by the majestic whale shark. This project was a lot of fun and a personal favourite, especially since the ocean is a huge influence in so much of my work.

Want to see more of what I do? Head over to my website (link in bio). 

Ocean Armour has a great range of products where sustainability is at the core of everything they do: oceanarmour.com.au.

A design for the trees

print design

When I was working as an in-house print designer for Kite, I designed a print inspired by trees local to the head office in Dorset. Kite teamed up with The Tree Council and I got to plant some trees which was a great day out and a fun project to be a part of. The products that were created through this collaboration raised money for this charity.

See the blog post here on Kite’s website: https://www.kite-clothing.co.uk/blogs/news/plant-a-tree?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email

Polar bears playing

print design

I am in love with how this print I designed has turned out in Kite’s new collection for AW22. It depicts some very happy polar bears playing with the snow and having a little snow ball fight! I remember this was the first baby sample that came into the office when I was their in-house designer and it was the cutest thing! See it pictured below. It’s hard to pick my favourite print from this collection but this one definitely stands out for me.
