As summer arrives and the weather warms up, I'm excited to share with you a pattern that was inspired by the changing seasons. Although we are on our way to summer, spring is one of my favorite seasons. Spring always makes me think of new life and renewal, and as a surface pattern designer, I couldn't help but channel that energy into my latest creation. The pattern features delicate roses, daisies, and greenery, and I designed it with a soft color palette in mind.
For this design, I was inspired by the changing seasons and the idea of new beginnings. I wanted to incorporate roses, daisies, and greenery in a way that felt fresh and modern, and I wanted to create something dainty but also bold and impactful.
I started by sketching out my ideas and experimenting with different color palettes. As a pattern designer, I try not to limit myself too much and allow the design to evolve naturally. While I often have a color palette in mind, I find that exploring new ideas and techniques is where I find the most pattern design inspiration.
As I worked on the design, I found it easy to come up with coordinates for a mini collection, incorporating different botanicals and a classic stripe. One of the things I love about designing patterns is the freedom to experiment and create something truly unique.
Looking at my mid-way-through images of the pattern, I'm excited to see it coming to life. It's still a work in progress, but I can already envision it being used on a variety of products, from wallpaper and wrapping paper to home decor and fashion accessories.
