Hello, I’m Julie.

I love things with 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…), historical dramas, good 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. It was a great experience. BUT….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, feature and enhance over 300 different kinds of products.
