Hi, I’m Emily!

I’m a Surface Designer and Watercolorist living in Germany. I am a Mama of two little boys, married to my best friend, and a lover of all things art and travel. I travel Europe as often as I can with my family and this has become my inspiration for my patterns and illustrations.

I am passionate about creating art that tells a story. My art style combines joyful hand-painted watercolor and gouache textures with whimsical and romantic motifs. I specialize in designs for stationery, puzzles, interior wallpaper, textiles, kids’ fabrics, and other fun products.

At heart I am a problem solver and I love helping brands discover standout designs that resonate with their audiences.

My art is available for licensing on surfaces of all types and I am also open to custom collaborations. I am represented through Cruise Creative.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Art History and over seven years of experience in the design field.

You can purchase my designs on products in my Etsy shop, my patterns on fabrics with QT Fabrics, and find my art on planners and napkins at your local HomeGoods or TX Maxx UK.

If you are looking for patterns or illustrations for your products or personal use, please send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. 

I look forward to working with you!
