Frequently Asked Questions

  • I offer surface pattern design licensing, custom pattern commissions, and mockups. Whether you need a ready-made design to license or a bespoke pattern created just for your brand, I can help.

  • Yes , I love collaborating on custom designs. We’ll start with your brief and ideas, then I’ll create a unique surface pattern that reflects your brand perfectly.

  • You can choose a design from my pattern library and license it for your products. I offer both exclusive and non-exclusive licensing options and different licensing terms, depending on what suits your business best.

  • Yes. Exclusive licensing means a pattern is reserved only for your brand and won’t be licensed to anyone else. This is ideal if you want something truly unique.

  • Licensing gives you the right to use an existing pattern, while commissioning means I design a new, custom surface pattern tailored specifically for your brand and vision.

About My Work

  • Licensing allows you to use one of my designs for an agreed purpose and timeframe. You get commercial rights to use the artwork, while I retain ownership unless otherwise arranged.

  • Yes, non-exclusive licensing is more affordable and allows multiple brands to use the design, while exclusive licensing gives you full rights to be the only one using it.

  • I typically provide high-resolution JPEG or PNG files. However if a different file format is needed please let me know.

  • Yes, licensed designs can be used on physical products, packaging, and more, as long as it’s outlined in your licensing agreement. Copy right and ownership of all designs (including custom patterns) stays with me, unless agreed upon in your agreement. You can use the design for all your agreed proposes, but you can’t claim it as your own, resell it or redistrubute it. More information can be found in our terms and conditions here.

  • Credit isn’t required for commercial use, but I always appreciate it when brands choose to mention my work.

Licensing & Usage

  • Most custom surface pattern projects take 2–6 weeks, depending on current bookings, the complexity of your peice and revisions. If you have a specific date in mind, please get in touch and we’ll do the best to accommodate.

  • We’ll begin with a discovery chat and mood board, then I’ll create initial sketches and mockups. You’ll be able to review, provide feedback, and request revisions before the final design is delivered.

  • Each project includes a set number of revisions (outlined in your agreement) to make sure you’re happy with the result. Extra revisions are available for an additional fee.

  • Digital files are usually delivered within 2–5 business days once payment and agreements are confirmed.

Process and Timeline

  • Pricing varies depending on whether you’re licensing an existing design or commissioning a new, exclusive pattern and how long you wish to use the design for. Licensing existing patterns is generally more affordable, while custom work reflects the time and creativity involved.

  • Yes, custom commissions require a 50% deposit upfront, with the balance due upon final delivery. Larger projects may be split into milestone payments, however files will not be delivered until all payments have been made.

  • I currently accept secure payments via PayPal and bank transfer.

Payments & Pricing
