Hi, I'm Yvonne, an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in Dublin, Ireland.

I grew up in Germany and spent many years working as an auditor and accountant. Becoming a mother inspired me to look for a career that would give me more flexibility, allow me to spend more time with my family, and give me the opportunity to do something creative every day.

That's when I discovered surface pattern design. What started as a new creative challenge quickly became a passion. I love transforming ideas from nature, and everyday moments into playful, colourful illustrations and patterns that bring warmth and personality to products and spaces.

My artwork is created with fabric, stationery, children's products, nursery décor, giftware, and more in mind. I love designing playful, nature-inspired patterns that help turn everyday products into something special. I am always excited about the opportunity to collaborate and bring new ideas to life.

When I'm not at my desk drawing, I love spending time at the beach, exploring Dublin, or collecting little bits of inspiration for whatever I'll design next.
