A mini pattern collection, inspired by Australian native florals 😊

Personally, I’m a sucker for that navy floral. 💛

Recently wrapped up a large-scale illustration project for a big Aussie corporate!
 14(!!!) custom scenes designed for their meeting room pods, adding a little more fun and colour to their workspace.

This coastal scene was one of my favourites to create 🌴

Swipe to see a bit of the process: inspiration images, sketching and the final installed artwork.

…lots more to share over the coming weeks 😊

Designers everywhere are jumping on the trend… so I thought I’d do a Little Black Kat version 😜

Let’s do a little matching game!
👉On the first slide are some of the icons & submarks I’ve designed
👉Swipe across and see if you can match them to the full brand logos

Can you guess the matches?

One of my favourite parts of branding is creating those extra little details (like a sub mark) that make a brand feel more recognisable, memorable and FUN beyond just the main logo.

And the reason they’re all shown in black?
A strong logo should still be recognisable in one colour… because great brand needs to work everywhere, from social icons, packaging, signage, uniforms and more! 👀

From scrappy little flower doodles… to a real-life swim collection

Getting to collaborate with the team at Sheila May Swim on this collection has been such a fun creative process. We started with moodboards, rough sketches, colour palettes and pattern ideas… then slowly watched it all come to life piece by piece.

And now the collection is officially LIVE ✨

Huge thanks to Toni and the Sheila May team for bringing me along for the ride on this one 💕
….You can shop the collection NOW over at

One of the quickest ways to make your brand look messy?

Too many fonts.
 More fonts don’t make your design more interesting…
They just make it harder to read, recognise and understand.

When it comes to fonts, it’s actually pretty simple:
👉 Text font (your go-to, ideally with multiple weights)
👉 Heading font (to add contrast)
👉 Accent font (optional, but great if your brand’s a bit more playful)

That’s it.

Because when your fonts are consistent, everything starts to click.
Your posts look more put-together.
Your product feels more premium.
And your design guides the reader, so things make sense faster.

Because good typography isn’t just about looking nice. It helps people understand and remember your brand.

So be honest… how many fonts are you working with in your brand right now? 👀

Easter eggs aren’t just for chocolate season 😜

Brands can have them too… in the form of little hidden details, inside jokes, or unexpected touches that make people smile and remember them.

Swipe through to see what I mean 👀

(Also… there are a few hidden on slide number one. Did you spot them?)

I created this pattern collection for a pitch to a children’s bedding brand last year.👧👦

It wasn’t quite the right fit for their range…�but I received some really lovely feedback and now have a colourful, considered collection of production-ready patterns ready for the right home.

This is one of the things I love about working in surface design.�Great ideas don’t just disappear. They evolve, shift direction, and often end up becoming part of another brand’s story.

So if you’re developing products, packaging or textiles and want playful Australian-inspired patterns with personality…�these (and many more) are available for licensing or custom development.

Get in touch for details (link in my bio) 💛

12 years of Little Black Kat Creative this month. 🎉🎉🎉

When I started this business, my kids were little. I was juggling client work around school drop-offs, bedtime routines and trying to figure out how to run a business without completely losing my mind.

The first 6 years were part time. Slowly building. Learning a LOT. Working nights. Drinking too much coffee.

Now those “little kids” are basically full grown humans and I’m still here… designing, illustrating, and helping businesses build brands that actually stand out.

Along the way I’ve: 💛 worked with hundreds of businesses 💛 licensed my patterns 💛 taught and mentored other designers 💛 survived a few “what on earth am I doing” moments 💛 and built a business that lets me do the work I genuinely love.

Running a business isn’t always glamorous… but 12 years later I’m still incredibly grateful I took the leap.

Thanks to every client, collaborator, and cheerleader who’s been part of the journey. 💛
…and to past-me who decided to give this whole “running a business” thing a crack. 😜
