I'm Lisa Mellows, a Surrey-based illustrator and surface pattern designer with South African roots.

I find inspiration in the beauty and joy of everyday life, the small moments, familiar objects and simple pleasures that often go unnoticed. These observations become the starting point for colourful illustrations and surface patterns designed for publishing, licensing and products.

I also run creative workshops and experiences, drawing on my background as a qualified Art teacher and nine years as Head of Art at an independent school. Sharing creativity and encouraging others to experiment, explore and make is a central part of my practice.

Let's create something beautiful together.
