I am Tara Ritchie, and I live in Etobicoke, a suburb of the big city of Toronto, with my husband, two teen daughters, and my two cats, Princess and Disco. 

After years of being in technology on the implementation team, raising my family and being an entrepreneur, I came across Surface pattern design and art licensing.

I love to work with businesses big and small; companies that value sustainability and ethical business practices. I also 100% love to support Canadian Businesses.

Inspiration is everywhere — from the rhythm of daily life, and the textures of nature to the unexpected beauty of art seen out in the wild, which really means city living. 

I aim to help you to transform your space and help you tell a story. I really believe that patterns become conversation pieces. Every pattern I design is crafted to infuse your home with warmth, creativity, and a feeling of connection.
