Surface Pattern Design

my process

I usually start a collection with a mood board for the particular theme. I first think about which feelings, which mood I want to create. I jot down initial thoughts on certain motifs, colors or even initial pattern ideas. Then I start with my sketches either analog on paper or digitally on the iPad. For the final artwork I use a mixture of Procreate, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. But I also like to experiment with analog media like watercolors and gouache or discover motifs and textures while walking through my neighborhood.

my collections

Below you will find an overview of my portfolio. More info about the individual collections can be found on their own subpages, which you can reach via the menu or by clicking on the individual collection logo on the left side. The mockups are intended to illustrate the possible uses of my sample collections, but may differ from the actual final product.
