Rachel Watson is a designer based in Derby, who mainly focuses on patterns for home decor, stationery and greetings - and this is where she has been concentrating her latest efforts. Rachel has had a meandering journey through jobs in business and education, always with a creative leaning - until she got to the point where she wouldn't be satisfied unless creating became the biggest part of her life. Rachel took a load of courses, taught herself to conquer her nemesis, Adobe Illustrator (She had been a Photoshop devotee up to that point!), and is now looking for representation from an agent, and for some awesome, exciting projects to get her teeth into! Rachel feels she continues to be on the steepest learning curve of her life, but says "by George it's fun". Rachel is an Instagram addict (find her here), which she feels can be a double edged sword at times and luckily for me she also loves the P&P Blog and books. Here are some images representative of Rachel's work and you can see more online here.
These are some of the most recent designs by Designers for Hire member Sarah Grateley.

Scroll down to see her latest creations, and find Sarah's portfolio online here. You can also follow on Instagram here.
Lynn Forder had a background in accountancy but in 2016 things changed when she “stumbled” upon the term Surface Pattern Design. Lynn was completely hooked and wanted to learn more about it and so she signed up for the first three modules with Make it in Design.The course had a huge impact on Lynn and re-introduced her to her creative side - since finishing the modules last year she has been busy building a portfolio, teaching herself how to use Illustrator and Photoshop, entering design competitions and connecting with other creatives through various online workshops and groups. Lynn's designs are available to licence and she would love to see them come to life on textiles, wallpaper, gift-wrap, greeting cards and stationery. Looking ahead to the future Lynn is hoping to launch a small range of homewares with some local independent shops. Find out more online here.
