Surface Pattern Designer | Children's Book Illustrator | Board Games

I help children's brands, publishers, and authors create illustrations that tell stories, build memorable products, and give brands their own recognizable visual identity. 4+ years of professional freelance experience. I create: - Children's Book Illustrations - Seamless Pattern Designs - Puzzle & Board Game Illustrations - Coloring Books - Educational and developmental content Every illustration is 100% hand-drawn in Procreate and prepared for professional production. WHAT MAKES MY WORK DIFFERENT Every project starts with a story. For children's books, I create layered illustrations filled with small details and secondary stories that children discover over time. These hidden moments make every reading experience different and encourage children to return to the book again and again. For seamless patterns, I don't simply create repeating elements. I build complete visual worlds where every character and every detail belongs together. Story-driven patterns help children's brands create a unique identity, stand out from competitors, and become recognizable to both children and parents. I also approach every project as a product designer. While illustrating, I always think about how the artwork will work on the final product—whether it's a children's book, fabric collection, packaging, puzzle, board game, or stationery. My goal is to create illustrations that are not only beautiful but also effective in real products. SELECTED CLIENTS I've collaborated with children's brands, educational companies, publishers, and schools across the USA and Europe, including GettCozy (USA), Lama Littles (USA), Math & Movement (USA), KIDYWOLF (Belgium), and Kita Rössli & Kita Grittpark (Switzerland). My work includes seamless patterns, children's book illustrations, educational materials, coloring books, puzzles, and custom illustrations for commercial products and educational environments. If you're looking for illustrations that combine storytelling, strong visual identity, and commercial usability, I'd love to help bring your ideas to life.
