Hi, I’m Rebecca — but most people call me Becca or Bekki!

I’m a self-taught illustrator, calligrapher, and surface pattern designer with a serious love for neat lines, knitting, and a good cup of coffee. I create playful, cosy, and colourful designs that pop up on everything from fabric to wall art — you might’ve seen my work on Redbubble, Society6, Spoonflower, Mixtiles, or in collaborations with brands both big and small.

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of working with some amazing clients (including a few celebrities), and my work has been featured by Moët & Chandon, You & Your Wedding Magazine, Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, and more.

One of my personal highlights? Designing place cards for the Game of Thrones Season 7 costume department’s Christmas party. Still fangirling.

My biggest disappointment? A shower curtain with my artwork was cast in a Hollywood movie — Poolman, directed by Chris Pine (I know, fancy). I signed the release forms, told my mum, basically planned the red carpet… and then the bathroom scene got cut. Tragic.

When I’m not at my desk surrounded by patterns and projects, I’m usually out walking my dog, knitting something cosy, or rewatching my favourite period dramas.

On Skillshare, I teach approachable classes on pattern design, Procreate, and creative workflows. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your skills, my goal is to make your creative process smoother, faster, and more fun — with tips, shortcuts, and a few laughs along the way.

I also run a popular Etsy shop where I sell my Pattern Maker Canvas Templates for Procreate — tools designed to take the stress out of seamless repeat pattern design. They’re loved by my YouTube viewers and Pattern Maker’s Toolkit members, and they make designing in Procreate an absolute breeze. If you’re into creating patterns, these will quickly become your go-to design tools.

Speaking of which — the Pattern Maker’s Toolkit is my growing collection of free resources for surface designers who want to save time, stay organized, and feel more confident in their workflow. Whether you’re designing for fun or for your portfolio, these tools are designed to help you work smarter (not harder) and enjoy the process.

The Pattern Maker’s Toolkit is kind of like a Patreon group — but it’s completely free!

Each month, I send out one email, packed with goodies and resources to help you on your pattern-making journey.

Every month you’ll get a set of seasonal prompts to help you plan ahead for key shopping dates if you sell on print-on-demand sites or post on social media, plus a set of seasonal colour palettes to inspire your designs.

You’ll also get early access to some of my YouTube videos, 10% off everything in my Etsy store, and full access to The Pattern Maker’s Toolkit resource library — which is filled with free resources to help you get started making beautiful patterns.

And don’t worry — I promise I only send one email a month. No spam here — just a little creative boost delivered straight to your inbox!

If you’re ready to start designing patterns or want to streamline your workflow, head over to the Pattern Maker’s Toolkit— my hub of free resources created especially for surface designers and Procreate users. You’ll find downloadable tools, templates, and time-saving assets to help you create seamless repeat patterns with ease. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to work smarter, there’s something in there for you!
