About Vikki

I am a surface pattern designer creating hand-drawn, nature-led collections for commercial licensing.

With a background in environmental and marine science, my work is informed by real ecosystems, observation, and lived experience rather than trend-driven or AI-generated imagery. That scientific foundation continues to inform how I design, through pattern recognition, systems thinking, and careful attention to how individual elements function within a larger whole. Each collection begins with hand drawing or painting before being refined into seamless, industry-ready vector patterns.

My focus is on building cohesive patterns that translate easily across textiles, homewares, stationery, and lifestyle products. The work is designed to be flexible, commercially practical, and long-lasting, while retaining a clear sense of origin and authenticity.

I license artwork on both exclusive and non-exclusive terms and am open to working with brands, manufacturers, and licensing agents seeking thoughtful, human-made design.
