After developing a relationship on social media for a couple of years, I started working with the founder of Jorgie Apparel to create custom swimwear patterns. For this collection, we worked together on developing each design with careful consideration of our research on colour and print trends. I used both hand and digital illustration techniques to develop these patterns and really challenged myself with my first large-scale hand drawn pattern, Beach Party. Each pattern was designed to evoke a sense of fun and positivity while making a bold fashion statement. The collection is targeted to individuals looking to stand out at the beach, pool and beyond.​​​​​​​

This project is unique and innovative because it demonstrates a great collaboration between Jorgina and I. We used each of our skill sets and insights to develop an original, modern theme and patterns to match. Then we prepared for the photoshoot by creating accessories for the models and a backdrop. The photoshoot had a fun party vibe where everyone had a great time, and it shows in the photos. We could not be happier with the result and the impact our collaboration has had. The outcome of the project is something that we are both proud of and we have received amazing feedback from customers and followers. The patterns can be made in any of Jorgie’s styles and every suit is handmade to fit you perfectly!

These patterns are also available on my Redbubble so you can get accessories to match your swimwear!
