EliveraDesigns' style ranges from soft, nostalgic designs with calming color palettes and subtle folk and rustic touches to more playful, modern patterns with unexpected details. She enjoys exploring different styles rather than sticking to just one, always aiming to create designs that feel personal rather than generic, with a balance of thoughtful details, color and character.
Her process starts by sketching her motifs or planning the layout on paper, then brings everything into Adobe Illustrator, sometimes using Procreate to refine shapes, add details or introduce texture where it enhances the design. Naturally eager to see the finished result, she is constantly learning to slow down and give each design the time it needs, aiming to make every pattern the best version it can be.
Her patterns are suited to a variety of applications, from wallpaper, cushions, curtains and upholstery to other home furnishings. They also work well for quilts, handmade accessories and sewing projects, where different prints can be mixed and matched. Her more playful and colorful designs are particularly suited to children's spaces, stationery, craft kits and other creative products.
Her patterns have been featured in Patterned, an Apple Arcade puzzle game by BorderLeap. Another collaboration was with Vexyls, which adapted one of her illustrations into an interactive sticker-by-number craft kit. She also collaborates with Green Planet Print, licensing her designs for wallpaper and home decor products. She has further collaborations coming up with companies in the wallpaper and fabric industries.
She was working as a freelance graphic designer when the pandemic hit in 2020 and client work slowed down. With more time to explore her creative interests, she began taking online drawing lessons, which eventually introduced her to surface pattern design. She quickly fell in love with the process, especially the way individual elements come together to create a cohesive design.
Since then, she has developed her practice through surface pattern design and cohesive pattern collections, securing her first licensing deals for home decor and other creative products. Her work has also been featured in Uppercase Magazine and CreativeHowl, helping her reach a wider audience within the design community.
Nature is a recurring source of inspiration in EliveraDesigns' work, from botanical elements to the colors and details found in the natural world. She also draws inspiration from folk art, incorporating traditional motifs and rustic details into some of her designs. Alongside these influences, she is drawn to coastal themes, summer holidays and travel, often translating the light, relaxed feeling of discovering new places into designs suited to home interiors, from nature-inspired prints to patterns that evoke the ease of life by the sea.
EliveraDesigns maintains an online presence through her portfolio website, where she showcases her pattern collections and design projects. She also shares her work on Spoonflower, Instagram and Pinterest
