About me

Donna runs her own small business Donna Louise Designs specialising in creating bespoke fabric prints for clients who want something truely different Just recently her work was used in Bora Aksu S/S 2019 runway show at London Fashion week She is a designer that looks at things differently, that always wants to push the creativity and is not satisfied with churning out the same design day in, day out although she is aware that designs must be commercially viable. She is a really hard worker and willing to go the extra mile because she wants to, and not because she has to. She designs seamless prints on coloured layers using both Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator CC and InDesign. She takes an experimental approach to print design and always look for inventive ways to combine handmade and digital artwork, she has seen her designs used for everything from home-wares to apparel.
