Since graduating from Chelsea College of Art, London based surface designer, Amelia Graham, has had the pleasure of designing prints for clients such as Calvin Klein, H&M, Paul & Joe, Diane von Furstenberg and Topshop. As a regular contributor to Pattern People, we’re always excited to see her beautiful prints. She’s been kind enough to share a few of her newest patterns here, in addition to answering some questions about her process. To see more of her work, take a look at our previous post on her here or at ameliagraham.com, shop for her products at society6.com, or simply follow her inspiration at pinterest or on instagram.

Where do you look for inspiration?

Architecture, art, science, and nature.

What tools do you find most helpful when designing?

Photoshop and illustrator are invaluable as are a digital camera and a Wacom tablet.

Any design tips you’d like to share?

Authenticity resonates in good design. Borrowing or aping others seems to impart a veneer of disingenuity that is usually brutally apparent.

What’s your favorite type of print to design and why?

Geometrics. I’m naturally inclined to geometry in the arts. Modernism appeals to me far more than ornamentalism so my hand lends itself to that above any other genres.

If you could design a print to go on anything, what would you choose?

The interior of a modern house.
