RKD X SQUID JIG SHIRT
Personal Project
​
My 'squid jig' pattern design is inspired by countless camping getaways in some of South Australia's favourite fishing and squidding spots, full of sparkling water, sunshine and crazy-coloured jigs! I couldn't resist bringing the pattern to life and, with the help of my mum, made this colourful button-up shirt. Camping weekends are my favourite way to relax and spend time with my partner, Dylan, who also makes a great model!
Hello!
Thanks for visiting my website and online portfolio. I am an illustrator, artist and designer living in the coastal suburb of Largs Bay, South Australia.
​
I have worked on all kinds of projects including children’s book illustrations, custom artworks, logos and branding, stationary design, event signage and public murals – just to name a few! However, surface pattern design is my jam, and I especially love to design patterns for fabrics. All of my projects are overseen by my studio manager, Lottie (a curious little Jack Russel pup!) who almost always snoozes on my lap while I am working.
​
I enjoy connecting with others on a creative level through workshops and brand/product collaborations. I am always welcoming new connections and projects over here.
