Sarah Milner Design

A little bit About Me ...

Hey there!

My name is Sarah, I am an Australian surface pattern designer with a passion for finding joy and pleasure in the simple things and making our world a more beautiful place one pattern at a time.

Most of my work usually begins as a line drawing, sketch or painting inspired by childhood memories, family holidays and the beauty of nature found in my local surroundings of the Atherton Tablelands or coastal regions of Far North Queensland.

I have always had a love of art and design and as a child would spend hours drawing and painting. I have now embraced the world of digital design, using Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to digitize my artwork to create repeat patterns, placement prints and spot graphics. I enjoy creating warm and unusual colour palettes and mood boards, keeping an eye on the latest trends. I love seeing my patterns find their way on to products all around the globe.

My patterns have a simple, elegant, hand drawn look with a modern vintage feel. Its my passion to create beautiful patterns that will evoke an inner joy, warmth and hint of nostalgia. My range of patterns are available for licensing or purchase or you can commission me for an individual project. I would love to hear from you if you are interested in working together.
