Inez Jestine is a surface pattern designer who recently moved to San Diego, California from Austin, Texas. Inez has joined the Designers for Hire Directory and says he is inspired by many things when creating. The Pacific Ocean, wildflowers in the mountains, and nature in general are all elements that you'll often find in her work. Equally, looking at vintage fabrics and wallpaper always inspires Inez to get designing. She aims to create timeless work that is suitable for a variety of marketplaces including, but not limited to - giftware, stationery, home decor, apparel, fabric, etc. Inez is currently open to both licensing and commissions and would be happy to find representation from an agent. You can find Inez online here and see the latest updates on Instagram.

Today I have part two of my look at the new releases in cards and gift wrap from Lagom Designs. And today have the designs created for Lagom by Molly Egan, which includes her Happy Portraits, Beautiful Babes, floral Blooms and a lovely painterly geometric. Molly is based in Philadelphia and her work is inspired by folk art, contemporary culture, and ephemera. Look out for Molly's gift wrap and cards in quality stores soon, and find them online here.
And also new from Lagom Publishing for AW2019 comes a historical collection created with Kew Garden's from their Archive of Botannical Art. The range of cards and wrap have a colourful and often very exotic feel and were created from Kew's collection by Kelly Hyatt. Kelly wanted them to look bold and fresh and remind us of the intrepid explorers who discovered these plants and flowers for the first time. Here are some of the greetings cards and wrapping paper designs in Lagom's 'Kew Collection' with more available online here.
