Hello, I’m Julie.

I love pretty prints and patterns, travelling (especially to London), yummy food, funny and kind people (especially my friends), cool autumn days, cats and dogs (but I don’t have a pet!), flowers (as noted by all the florals I design…), a good drama movie, great coffee, oh and I love pancakes with maple syrup.

I have formal qualifications in commercial art and graphic design, and I’ve been active in the design industry for 25 years. For many years I worked in the fast-paced, corporate engineering sector as a graphic designer. In 2016 I leapt at the chance to start my own creative business (goodbye corporate cubicle), and I discovered the world of Surface Pattern Design and Art Licensing.
In 2018 and 2019 I flew to New York to exhibit and show my artlicensing portfolio to top Art Directors and Art Agents.
Since then, I have not looked back.

Client work

I have collaborated with and designed for some fun and unique businesses. My artwork has been licensed multiple times and I have seen my designs adorn the surface and enhance over 300 different kinds of products.
Some of these products include: fabric by the metre, fashion textiles, baby play mats and pram liners, kitchen textiles and table linen, drink bottles and wine tumblers, picnic rugs, beach bags and chairs, sand-free beach towels, heat packs, hand bags and cosmetic bags, diaries, stationery and gift wrap, Christmas advent calendars and Santa sacks, ceramic serving platters, bath salts and fizzers, miniature nail files, glasses cases, beaded coasters, gardening tools and more!
