Discover all about pattern design

I’m Katie, founder and surface pattern designer at Willow and Woods. I’m also a photo album and memory book creator, living in the little town of Emsworth on the south coast of England. Thanks for visiting, it’s lovely to have you here!

When I’m not working on pattern design, I love being Mummy to our two little(ish) ones, our dog and taking long walks on the beach or in the countryside. I also love nothing better than a cold dip in the sea! Brrrrr! On those rare occasions I have a quiet moment, I enjoy settling down with a good book and being transported to another world.

Through my designs I hope to help bring joy and warmth to people’s homes, that glow you feel as sunshine touches the skin, and the comfort of coming inside after a brisk walk in the wind or rain. Discover more about life at Willow and Woods here!
