Surface Print Design

Examples of surface, graphic and print design. I have designed official merchandise for Iowa State University.

Children’s Wear - Pan-Dayze

Designed with Lectra Kaledo Software, Pan-Dayze combines both function and form for young toddlers who are beginning to explore their surroundings. Panda prints, and Knits, gender neutral motifs, colors, and silhouettes work perfectly for both larger and smaller families.

One and two piece garments are the main focus, making it easy to change between outfits with no extra hassle. Silhouettes like overalls and cardigans give plenty of warmth and flexibility.

All prints were carefully designed from scratch along with technical flats and spec sheets.

The Glass Prairie

Inspired by the natural beauty of Iowa, The Glass Prairie seeks to evoke feelings of pleasure and satisfaction to those who appreciate the natural Midwest landscape.

Native plants such as little bluestem grass, partridge pea and cardinal flowers are used throughout the designs as an homage to local flora and fauna. Bright summer colors make the designs stand out and advertise the vitality of life that surrounds people every day. Each design is carefully drawn by hand. After editing, they are digitally printed onto fabric.

Utilizing official University colors and Lectra Kaledo soft-ware, the designs feature bold lines filled with color. Much like a window of stained glass, the scarves liken themselves to a portable tapestry or window.
