Hi, I’m Michelle — a Queensland-based illustrator who’s a little obsessed with colour, pattern and all things playful. I design bold, vibrant repeats ranging from abstract florals and scalloped geometrics to whimsical, animal-inspired character prints. I’ve always loved drawing critters and quirky personalities, and you’ll often spot them popping up in my work. I’m drawn to retro moods, layered shapes and joyful palettes, and I love creating designs that feel expressive and wearable. Building collections and seeing them transformed into clothing and homewares is honestly the best part. I’m always adding new designs and exploring fresh directions.If you bring one of my prints to life, please tag me on Instagram @yaldidesigns — seeing what you make genuinely makes my day!
