About me
Hi I'm Sheleen Cocea, Birmingham, Uk Based designer and owner of Shelly's Patterns. Shelly's Patterns comes from my nickname 'Shelly' and my passion is to create amazing seamless patterns and surface illustrations. I am also a Surface Pattern Design teacher in the Affinity Software with a community of willing and enthusiastic students.
I create many patterns for many products creating a bold, bright fresh look. I hand draw my designs and I also do digital patterns. I mainly design for home furnishings, stationery and apparel.
My designs are influenced by stylised florals, but in recent times I am taking a lot of inspiration from my surface pattern hero William Morris. I love his repeat style, I just put my own spin on it, creating a more modern look. The great thing is that I am a Freelance Surface Pattern Designer, so I am free to collaborate with your company's vision to create bespoke designs or designs that I have in my collection that are ready for print. Please do get in touch and I would love to share my designs and talk about what you would like for your products, so that you can have those happy customers.
