Hi, and welcome to my creative world! I’m Samira, an experienced surface pattern designer and artist based in Leiden, Netherlands, specializing in hand-drawn, retro-inspired designs for fabric, wallpaper, home decor, and stationery.

With a background in graphic design and illustration, I spent several years working as a senior graphic designer before fully transitioning into the world of surface pattern design. Over time, I’ve deepened my skills through specialized courses and self-directed learning in both traditional and digital media.

My work blends hand-drawn elements, rich textures, and expressive brushwork to create versatile patterns that are both soulful and distinctive. I often draw inspiration from vintage art, natural themes, and a love for tactile, painterly textures — making my designs ideal for fabric, wallpaper, stationery, and interior products.

I’m passionate about crafting patterns that bring warmth, personality, and timeless character to every surface. Each design starts with a sketch, then evolves through layered composition, organic shapes, and a touch of imperfection — all essential parts of my creative voice.
I'm always open to collaborations, art licensing, and custom design projects. If you're a brand, art director, or fellow creative looking to add something special to your next collection, I’d love to hear your ideas.
