I’m a textile and surface pattern designer based in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

I create fresh, elegant prints for apparel, products, and home decor, blending hand-painted watercolour inks with digital techniques.

Drawing inspiration from the diverse urban flora in New Zealand and most days you can find me wandering, photographing, and enjoying the ever-changing flowers in my local neighbourhood.

with this inspiration I create painterly, textured designs, infusing each piece with graceful movement, visual intrigue and a hint of nostalgia.

I regularly attend international textile shows and am available to show you my collection online as well.

I’m Josephine Lorelle.
