A month in my mind... April 2022
With April saw the Easter Bunny finally arrive… Our daughter was very excited :) April is a lovely month with so much springing to life in the garden (ha ha excuse the pun). We managed to get away to Bude for 3 nights and stayed in a cute little pod, I can’t believe we actually got to sit on the beach. I am now the proud owner of a wetsuit and experienced my first swim in the Bude Sea Pool which was extremely liberating.
I hope you enjoy seeing what I got up to in April 2022, with client work, my own personal work and things that have inspired me.
A month in my mind…
Client Work
April has been a lovely month of client work. I am extremely grateful for all the projects I get to work on. This month I have worked on a gorgeous pattern for Out of The Box Gifts which I am hoping to share with you next month. I have also been working on a set of stories for Instagram for a garden design company.
Below are two pieces of client work from April.
Isola Garden Design
Project: Story template design
I was asked to create a set of stories for Isola’s Social Media which covered three different areas of the business.
Out of The Box Gifts
Project: Pattern Design
Showcasing how I present a selection of illustrations for my clients to choose from. Zoe chose around 5 different illustrations which I have gone onto draw up and create into the final pattern.
“Kat produced the most beautiful pattern designs. They are both absolutely amazing, thank you! Again, even better than I could ever have imagined, you would not believe my squeals of excitement when they came through! I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

What makes me tick
I love keeping notes of things that excite, inspire and set my world on fire, whether thats a magazine designed beautifully, podcasts, beautiful packaging, or a colour that catches my eye.
Below are things that inspired me last month.
Left image: For reflection and time away, you honestly can not beat a glorious beach sunset.
Middle image: I stumbled across Nora Van Elkin by chance when looking for music and I find it so wonderful to have on while I am working.
Right image: This pic is of the Bude Sea Pool that I swam in twice, yes twice! The first time didn’t put me off, it made me want to do it again but for longer. I am beyond proud of myself for swimming in this and I found it so incredibly liberating, I was bouncing off the walls when I got out. I can so see why this is amazing for your mental health.
Do you have a project in mind?
If you like what I get up to and think that I would be a good fit for your business, I would love to hear from you whether it is for Design, Illustration or GIF creations.
