Independent Designs

A growing selection of independent surface pattern designs, each developed from its own source of inspiration. From geometric studies and hand-drawn motifs to creative prompts and experimentation, these designs capture ideas explored beyond my larger collections.

Designs are available for licensing, with selected designs also available to purchase as fabric and wallpaper through my Spoonflower shop.

Triskele Passage

Triskele Passage draws inspiration from the ancient triskele and the Neolithic passage at Newgrange, where the winter solstice sun travels through the passage to illuminate the inner chamber. The winter solstice has always been one of my favorite days of the year: the turning point when the darkness begins to recede and, little by little, the days grow longer again. I love this quiet passage through winter, from the solstice to the first snowdrops emerging in early February—a reminder that even when nothing appears to be happening, a whole world of activity unfolds beneath the surface.

Built from connected, hand-drawn threefold forms, Triskele Passage translates that sense of movement, emergence, and returning light into a continuous geometric rhythm. The design is available in two complementary colorways: Ink, in deep blue ink, warm stone, and moss, and Linen, a softer interpretation in warm ivory, stone, and sage moss. Each is available in two scales for different interior applications.

Hydrangea Courtyard

Hydrangea Courtyard grew out of an exploration of curvilinear geometry and the quatrefoil—a four-lobed form found throughout medieval Iberian decorative arts. Noticing its resemblance to the hydrangea’s four-petalled florets inspired me to bring the geometric and botanical forms together, interpreting the hydrangea in a deliberately stylized rather than realistic form.

Stylized blooms and wandering stems weave through repeating quatrefoils suggestive of weathered stonework, creating the feeling of hydrangeas growing through an old Mediterranean courtyard. The design is available in three colorways: soft blue, dusty rose, and violet.

Wheel of Joy

Wheel of Joy began as an exploration of the number three through hand-drawn sacred geometry. The pattern brings together two forms rooted in Celtic tradition: the Wheel of Joy and Trinity tracery. Their geometry is reimagined as flowing botanical forms, with sweeping branches, berries, and interlocking motifs creating a sense of movement across the design.

Originally developed for Spoonflower’s Merry Maximalist Design Challenge, the pattern began in a rich, festive palette before being reimagined as Morning Meadow in softer, nature-inspired tones. The Morning Meadow colorway is also available at a larger scale for wallpaper.
