Featured Designer - Penguinhouse Art
Whimsical, playful, joyful
My process usually starts with quiet observation — nature, children’s books, travel, textures, small everyday moments, or simply a color palette that catches my attention. I collect inspiration constantly through sketchbooks, Pinterest boards, photos, and long walks near the sea.
Most patterns begin as loose sketches and playful experiments. I spend a lot of time moving elements around, testing rhythm, balance, and color combinations until the design starts feeling alive and natural. I enjoy working intuitively and letting the pattern evolve gradually rather than following a strict plan.
I’m especially drawn to creating designs that feel warm, imaginative, and full of tiny details people can keep discovering over time.
I find inspiration in nature, children’s illustrations, folk art, travel, ocean life, textiles, and quiet everyday moments. I’m constantly saving color palettes, interesting textures, plants, toys, packaging, and little visual details that create a certain feeling or atmosphere.
