Hello lovely! This is me, a surface pattern designer and illustrator from Brisbane, Australia and this is my brand MONBER and B.  

I love illustrating designs with character so others can express to the world what brings them joy.  Being a part of someone’s home and everyday life is what lights me up.

I spent a long time trying to share how I feel about being creative but I’m going to go with the clunky and nerdy version.  

Art, pattern, colour, texture, movement, and form are what I think about in every moment between organising family life in my head.  I steal moments any chance I get to sit and create and the thought makes my tummy flip.  I studied fashion design, worked in the industry around the world, and have been in the creative industries for over 20 years and I’m still so excited by it all.  (told you it was clunky, but it’s from the heart)

I love that I’m able to work from my studio in the beautiful mountains while my husband and I raise our two girls and our fur boy Bandit. 

I hope you enjoy looking through my work here on the website and if you're interested in licensing and collaboration please say hi - email and Instagram and the best contacts, I looked forward to chatting.
