Freelance pattern design FAQ
How do I go about commissioning a custom pattern?
The process is simple and collaborative. To begin, please email me to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call. During this chat, we can discuss your project's aesthetic, technical specs, and timeline to see if we are a good fit to working together.
Do you offer commercial licensing for your patterns?
Yes. I offer a variety of licensing structures, from non-exclusive regional licenses to full category exclusivity. Please get in touch to discuss the scope of your project.
Are you available for bespoke commissions?
Absolutely. I collaborate with brands to develop unique, signature prints tailored to their specific aesthetic and technical requirements. My 'Roots to Bloom™' process ensures a cohesive and production-ready result.
How is your licensing and commission pricing structured?
Pricing is based on factors such as the industry (textiles, stationery, etc.), duration of use, and whether the design is from my existing portfolio or a custom creation. Please request my Studio Rate Card for a baseline guide.
What is the typical lead time for a custom project?
Timelines vary depending on complexity, but most custom patterns are delivered within 1–3 weeks. This includes research, hand-drawn motifs, and final technical repeats. I am happy to work within your production calendar - if you need something urgently, I may be able to accommodate you in my calendar for an additional rush fee.
