Patternpeople.com


Pattern People is a surface design studio founded by designers Claudia Brown and Jessie Whipple Vickery who came together with a mutual appreciation of pattern and a shared vision. Collectively they bring their illustrations to all types of surfaces from fashion to interiors.

They specialize in creating designs using paint, ink, graphite, and pixels for a range of projects and products – from wrap-around residential murals to perfume packaging for the likes of Estée Lauder, Adidas and Godiva Chocolate.
Their inspiaration can be shared and commented on in a  blog which is dedicated to the appreciation and application of print design. The blog features a wealth of valuable resources from trends in fashion and interiors to color palettes, DIY guides, book reviews and more to inspire, inform and educate pattern lovers of all ages.
Pattern People is based in Portland, Oregon.
The website had some decorative and inspiring products on it, one or which I have posted below, which is a digital print scarf by designer Christopher Kane.
I like the vibrant rainbow colours and effect applied over the pattern design on the scarf. The site lists other designers whose work you are able to look at. I did find the site confusing to navigate and it is not obvious how to purchase any items, so it was a little offputting for this reason, but the topics and information on books, fashion, illustration and surface and pattern design made it worth while persevering.
