Kids’ surface patterns for fashion, nursery decor, gift-ware, and beyond

Hi, I’m Marlies, a surface pattern designer and illustrator based in the Netherlands.​​​​​​
I create bold, whimsical, gender-neutral, retro-inspired designs made especially for children’s apparel, baby products, stationery, gift ware, party supplies, and more.

"Patterns set the rhythm; hero illustrations steal the show."


My artwork is available for licensing or custom collaboration, and is ideal for brands looking for colorful, trend-aware, yet timeless designs for kids.
