Hi!  I’m Wendy.

I’m an artist at heart with a passion for creativity and helping others find their creative voice.  I’m also a Mum, a trained nurse and coach.  I am settled in the UK and love my woodland home in Kent.  I live close to the coast and countryside, and take so much inspiration from the outdoors for my work.

I have also lived in Melbourne, where my journey into surface pattern design began working with companies such as Cap Gemini and Myers.  I have always been inspired by my children, and it was my son’s own artwork that was the inspiration behind my very first brand, Little Scribblers.

How I discovered Surface Pattern Design?

Like most adventures in life, my journey into surface pattern design has taken some twists and turns.  I started to formally train as a textile designer at RMIT in 2010, but you know as life unfolds sometimes, I had to put my training on hold and focus my energies elsewhere.  I took me 10 years to circle back to surface pattern design and now I am back, I am never leaving!

Over the years I worked as a specialist nurse, raised my family, moved countries, trained as a coach but have always immersed myself in learning new art practices, studying inks, watercolour, free- motion embroidery and teaching art classes.

I am always evolving and these art methods and life experiences are very much woven into my surface pattern design practices today.  I am so passionate about using my creative voice to shape the world we want to see, filled with fun, colour, story-telling, nostalgia, connection and curiosity.
