ABOUT ME

SURFACE design

Hi! I’m Anna, a Scottish designer living with my family in a beautiful town on the Portuguese coast.

I specialise in creating heritage-inspired patterns and illustrations, and my goal is to bring that timeless elegance to homes across the world.

Craftsmanship is at the heart of my creative practice: all of my designs are carefully crafted on paper using pencils, pens or paints such as watercolour or gouache. The finished pieces are then scanned and prepared for print in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.

I’m inspired by fairytale palaces, hand painted tiles, and pretty wild flowers that grow from the tiniest crevices. The years I’ve lived in both the UK and Portugal have given me a treasure trove of inspiration to draw on.

When I’m not at work in my home studio, you can find me exploring ancient forests in the nearby natural park, or pruning the crazy bougainvillea in my garden!

Thanks for joining me on my creative journey. If you want to be among the first to hear when I have news, please sign up to my mailing list. Let’s keep in touch.
