What can I do for you
I’m Özde Bayer, a surface pattern designer and illustrator based in the Netherlands. I create original patterns and artwork for brands and makers who care about how their products look, feel, and live in the world.
My background is in interior architecture, which shapes the way I design. I think about scale, atmosphere, and how a pattern behaves on a real product, in a real space, in real light. The motifs I’m drawn to most are animals, botanicals, and celestial details, mixed in ways that feel expressive but easy to live with.
Good pattern design is about restraint as much as expression. A motif that’s overworked loses its breath. A repeat that fights the eye becomes tiring on a cushion, a curtain, a wrap. I aim for the opposite: patterns that hold attention without demanding it, designs that feel familiar the second time you see them and richer the tenth.
The projects I do my best work on are the collaborative ones. Send me a clear brief, share what excites you, then trust me with the craft. The strongest patterns come from a real exchange between your knowledge of your product and your customer, and my voice as a designer.
Three Ways to Work Together
License an Existing Pattern – From €450
Choose a pattern from my portfolio and license it for your product. The fastest, most cost-predictable path. Best for small-to-mid brands, single-product launches, and seasonal collections. Available as non-exclusive, category-exclusive, or fully exclusive.
Commission a Custom Pattern – From €1,400
I design something new, made specifically for your brand, product, and audience. Best for signature collections, hero products, and brands with a clear creative vision. Includes 2 years of category exclusivity by default.
Buy a Pattern Outright – From €4,500
Take full ownership of a pattern, forever, with no category, geographic, or time limits. Best for brands that want to register the design as part of their identity and never share it with anyone else.
