Founder & DesignerFlowers for Susie
Bournemouth, United KingdomFreelance
I am an illustrator and homeware designer creating homeware, lighting, prints & cards with a mid century modern aesthetic. My products are designed to evoke a warm sense of nostalgia within a contemporary aesthetic. I am captivated by mid century colour palettes and repeat patterns and love to combine the bold colour mixes with simple repeated motifs and silhouettes to create modern design statements. I’m driven by a desire to create products that add colour to our world, make a modern statement in our homes and are timeless pieces, transcending fast fashion.
All my designs are created in my studio by the sea. Starting life first as a sketch and then as a lino print, and finally digitally crafted to create the patterns and unique colour palettes you see in my range.
