Deanna Marie - Surface Pattern Designer

Some designs hold a little extra meaning—tied to a memory, a moment, or something that simply felt special as I created it. This page is where I highlight a few of those patterns, the ones with a story behind them. Scroll down to see the designs and the moments that brought them to life.

A Celebration of Nature’s Elegance There’s something timeless about leaves—the way they dance in the breeze, shift with the seasons, and add effortless beauty to the world around us. My leaf-inspired designs capture that organic movement, weaving nature’s elegance into patterns that bring warmth, texture, and a touch of the outdoors to any space. Whether bold and graphic or soft and delicate, each piece in this collection is a tribute to the quiet magic of leaves in all their forms.

Whether inspired by my daughter’s wedding, a trip to the aquarium, or a walk through the botanical gardens, these motifs and pattern designs bring a timeless touch to products across multiple categories and lines.

After securing the keys to our dream beach home, I found myself endlessly inspired by the tranquil symphony of waves and the intricate treasures the tides would bring. My Coastal Collection is a heartfelt reflection of that serene coastal beauty, from the graceful dance of seahorses to the timeless elegance of corals and palms. Whether you're unwrapping a coastal Christmas or simply draping your spaces in oceanic charm, this collection is my seaside love letter to you.

Time found a way to slow down on afternoon, allowing for a rare, uninterrupted conversation between my mom and me. Though neither of us grew up on the coast, we've both always been captivated by the ocean's allure. On that idle afternoon, we brainstormed design elements that would soon form the tapestry of the 'Nautical Whispers' collection. From the elegant contours of whales to the geometric appeal of the fish and life-saving rings, to the streamlined aesthetics of the sailboats, we felt as if we were curating an oceanic dream in blues, grays, white, and splashes of red. Each element, skillfully created stands as a testament to a shared creative vision, nurtured and refined through the special bond between mother and daughter.

Designs I created inspired by circles.

Christmas Holiday Repeat Patterns I've created from inspirations of color as well as my interpretation of traditional holiday elements.

These patterns are some of my first explorations into the art of surface pattern design, each one a reflection that the season of love embodies. In them, I see the timeless dance of romance and creativity, my graphic designs capturing the essence of Valentine's Day as they repeat across the canvas of imagination.
