Helena Nilsson is a freelance surface pattern designer from Sweden. Helena is one of the featured designers in the new Issue 41 of UPPERCASE magazine's Surface Pattern Design Guide. In connection with this feature Helena has updated her online portfolio with new patterns that are now available for licensing, and has also launched a newsletter. For her work Helena draws inspiration from the nature that surrounds her, mid century Scandinavian design, and old illustrated adventure novels, she creates patterns for a more beautiful everyday life. She works mainly with three tools: pen, paper, and Adobe Illustrator, bringing her hand-drawn motifs into vector-based repeat patterns and prints.
