About Me

Jessica Skolnik

Surface Pattern Designer

Hi, I'm Jessica

​

I'm a surface pattern designer and artist based in North Carolina, creating nature-inspired artwork for fabric, stationery, home décor, and lifestyle products.

​​

My creative journey began long before I ever knew what surface pattern design was. I've always been drawn to color, pattern, and the beauty found in everyday moments. As a child, I spent hours creating, observing nature, and finding inspiration in the small details that many people overlook. Over time, that curiosity evolved into a passion for creating artwork that tells a story and evokes a feeling.

​

Like many artists, my path wasn't a straight line. While building a career and raising a family, creativity remained a constant thread woven through every season of life. Sometimes it was creating watercolor portratits and sometimes is was decorating cupcakes and making hand-made invitations for my daughter's birthday.

Eventually, I discovered surface pattern design and immediately felt at home. It combined everything I loved, illustration, storytelling, color, and the opportunity to create artwork that becomes part of people's daily lives.

​

Today, my work is inspired by heirloom traditions, woodland walks, blooming gardens, treasured memories, and the women who have shaped my story.

I believe the most meaningful designs are the ones that make people feel something, whether it's nostalgia, joy, comfort, or connection.

​

My hope is to create artwork that is not only beautiful but lasting patterns that can be worn, displayed, loved, and passed down from one generation to the next.

​

When I'm not designing, you'll find me in my garden, exploring nature, collecting inspiration from everyday life, and dreaming up new collections that celebrate the beauty of meaningful moments.
