Den Studios is built around prints drenched in colour and laced with nostalgia — designs that feel both fresh and familiar. My work draws from everyday rituals, childhood magic, and a love of storytelling through print. I’m interested in creating art that captures a feeling first, and a pattern second.

My first introduction to the world of surface design came in 2019, sparked by a conversation with my best friend, who was running a small kidswear label at the time — one that has since grown into a leading Australian kidswear brand. We kept returning to the idea of custom prints and how her label could stand apart in a landscape of beige. I committed to creating a pattern for her and, in the process, taught myself surface design from the ground up. What followed was an intensive, self-directed crash course in transforming hand drawings into digital, production-ready repeat prints — a foundation that would define Den Studios.

The first print we created, Suns of Arley, sold out repeatedly in multiple colourways. That single design opened the door to many more, and soon other labels started to notice. What began as a quiet favour evolved into a full-time studio collaborating with thoughtful, design-led brands across kidswear, womenswear, and lifestyle.

In 2022, while balancing a newborn, an energetic four-year-old, and travelling around Australia in a caravan, I made Den Studios my full-time focus. Since then, I’ve created hundreds of prints for brands across Australia and beyond, helping build collections that feel wearable, liveable, and lasting.

Some milestones still feel surreal. One of my most recognised designs, the Inhale Exhale tee for By Billie, recorded over $200k in preorders within 24 hours — on a single T-shirt design, an outcome most full collections never see. Multiple Christmas collections for The Wholesome Store disappeared faster than they could restock, and a global summer collaboration with SUNNYLiFE stepped into the lifestyle space with pool floats and beach accessories. These moments continue to influence the direction and identity of Den Studios.

At its core, Den Studios is about more than pattern. Each project is about capturing a mood, a memory, or a small piece of magic, and translating it into something tangible. I’m passionate about making the creative process clear, collaborative, and enjoyable — so clients walk away not just with prints they love, but with an experience that feels seamless from start to finish.

From bold, punchy motifs to pieces that feel quietly nostalgic, I create art that becomes part of your home, your wardrobe, and your story. This is the work I’ve built my studio around, and it continues to evolve with every collection.
