In 3 words describe your pattern design style?

I don’t follow one specific design style, I like to experiment and explore different looks, shapes, colors, and textures. Sometimes I mix styles together to create something fresh and unexpected. I enjoy playing with composition and color combinations, and I’m always open to trying new ideas and techniques.

What is your work & design process? 

My process usually starts by researching trends and visual ideas. I look online, in stores, fashion magazines, children’s books, wallpapers, and during my travels. Inspiration can come from anywhere,  even a flower in a garden or something I suddenly notice during the day. When something catches my attention, I sketch it, write notes, or take photos. Later, in my studio, I develop the ideas digitally using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

Where do you find your design inspiration?

I find inspiration everywhere. Fashion, nature, vintage graphics, children’s illustrations, textures, colors, and everyday life all influence my work. Traveling also helps me discover new trends, cultures, and visual details that often become part of my designs. I love observing small things that can trigger imagination and turn into new creative ideas.
