Hi, I’m Fern!

My two loves in life are pattern design and crafting. When I’m not designing seamless repeats, I’m knitting, sewing or otherwise finding something to glue to something else. In fact, there are a fair few things in the background of this photo that I’ve made, and they’re all colourful!

I’ve just always been drawn to colour (you should have seen my teenage wardrobe), and I think it’s because I’ve always been shy, and by having everything on me and around me full of colour, I had a channel for self-expression, since I struggled to use my voice.

After school, I went on to get a degree in Dental Technology (yes, I can make false teeth!) but it just wasn’t for me. I needed to do something creative. At age 19 I bought myself Photoshop Elements, and I’ve not looked back.

Aside from Colour (with a capital C), I am particularly drawn to symmetrical motifs, art deco shapes, striking geometry, and texture.

I hope you enjoy viewing my portfolio. Further designs can be found in my Spoonflower shop.

Thank you for visiting :)
