Custom pattern design

Bring your product to life with a pattern

Give your product its own identity with a custom-designed surface pattern. I create colorful and playful patterns that add a joyful vibe to your product. Most of my patterns are made in vector, but I can also create patterns with a more handcrafted appearance. If you prefer a collection of coordinating patterns, I can assist with that too.

Surface patterns make a difference for fabrics, haberdashery, wallpaper and interior prints, clothing, product packaging, stationary, wrapping paper, and much more.

  • Set your company apart from competitors
  • Unique and distinctive appearance for your brand or product line
  • A custom pattern helps your products stand out in stores or online

How does it work?

  1. Contact me: You can email me at mail@tamarahoutveen.com or call: +31628492316.
  2. We will schedule a meeting to discuss your wishes and goals for the illustration. I’ll ask you a few questions to get a clear picture of what you want. Of course, I’m here to provide input and ideas as well.
  3. After our meeting, I’ll provide you with a quote. If you agree with it, I’ll request a deposit, and then I’ll start working on the sketches.
  4. Feedback on the sketches? No problem! We’ll discuss together what changes you would like to make.
  5. I’ll adjust the sketches and send them to you. Once you’re completely satisfied, I’ll proceed with creating the illustration.
  6. Would you like to make changes to the layout or illustration? No problem! Usually, we agree on one round of revisions per project.
  7. At the end of the project, I’ll deliver the files in the desired formats.

What does it cost?

I’d love to provide a standard price, but no project I do is ‘standard.’ The cost of an illustration or project depends on several factors, such as:

  • The size of the project (number of illustrations needed, graphic design)
  • The illustration style
  • The level of detail (illustration size, color usage)
  • The usage rights (commercial or non-profit)
  • Licensing agreements
  • Other arrangements we make (number of sketches and revision rounds)

That’s why it’s best to contact me. We can discuss all your requirements for the project and talk about the possibilities. Contact me for more information.
