About Me
Hey! Im Jaz a Childrenswear Surface patttern designer
I am a Textile designer specializing in Childrenswear design and illustration. I'm passionate about designing prints that make you smile and telling stories through my work. I am very enthusiastic when it comes to print design, I have a keen eye for detail and love to create bright and colorful concepts, that inspire children to use their imagination.
I have a love for all things creative, I am always trying new ways to enhance my craft, and developing my skills in Photoshop, illustrator, animation, drawings and fashion design. From first year my love for surface pattern and all things children's wear has blossomed. I love trying out new printing techniques to come up the best ways to tell stories through my prints. I love to use traditional printing techniques to create unique motifs and add a modern twist to old school printing methods to create new and exciting prints for children to enjoy.
INSPIRATION
Camping Adventures
My starting point of inspiration was thinking back to what I enjoyed when I was a child, I thought back to my camping holidays with my family and wanted to replicate my love of adventure through my children's collection. I want to inspire children’s creativity, inviting children to explore the world of nature and educate them of the beauties of the natural world.
Due to the Cost of Living crisis in the UK, the price of holidays abroad continue to raise, resulting to many parents turning to UK holidays, such as camping trips and glamping. I wanted to make a collection that brings back excitement to camping holiday adventures, that children can learn from, while also having fun. Finding adventures in places close to home.

DETAIL
Traditional Printing Techniques
Through my design process, I use traditional printing techniques, such as lino printing, collagraph relief printing and collage to create details that cant be recreated through digital design. These prints are then scanned in and edited through Adobe Photoshop and Illurstrator to create Surface Pattern repeats. The repeats are then printed onto fabrics for me to make into garments for the little Explorers to start their adventures in. As a designer I believe its important to explorer traditional techniques that can often be forgotten in the new digitized world.
