Hello I’m Anna

Through Draw And Wander, I design patterns that bring joy into everyday routines — from planners and notebooks to giftable pieces and home décor — helping brands create products that feel personal, optimistic, and full of story.

Let me tell you more:

I’m the surface pattern designer and illustrator behind Draw And Wander. Since childhood, creativity has been my way of finding calm. I used to invent imaginary worlds and bring them to life on paper — while dreaming of seeing the real one with its landscapes, colors, and cultures.

Over the years, I’ve traveled to many of the places I once imagined. And travel continues to shape how I design: from colors in markets and patterns in tiles to the flora and fauna that define a place. It’s the small details that stay with me, and surface pattern design allows me to turn them into something lasting.

Today, I create cheerful, travel-inspired surface pattern collections for the stationery, home décor, and novelty gifting markets. My work combines playful and trendy motifs with cohesive, licensing-ready pattern systems designed to translate seamlessly across product categories. Each collection is thoughtfully developed as a complete story, with hero prints, supporting patterns, and versatile colorways.

Working digitally in Procreate allows me to explore fresh, trend-aware palettes while maintaining subtle texture and warmth. I design artwork that feels joyful and human, yet commercially considered and ready for product.
