5 Tips for Working from Home

These are pretty unusual times right now so I thought I’d share some tips for working from home. I went from working in a design studio for 5 years to starting up freelance from home back in 2013. It’s been a learning a curve along the way and here’s some of the things that have helped me and hopefully you can find them useful too.

Introduction | Meet the Designer

Hello! I’m Jessica Wilde and I’m a surface pattern designer and illustrator based in Staffordshire, UK. I thought I’d share a little about me and my creative journey so far.

I grew up in rural Shropshire and have had a passion for nature, drawing and colour for as long as I can remember. Throughout school and college I always had my head in a sketchbook, as well as drawing I experimented in pretty much any medium I could get my hands on, from clay, paint, textiles and found objects.

Feathr x Jessica Wilde

We’re thrilled to share the latest collaboration with Feathr, a range of botanical wall murals featuring large scale florals and abstract landscapes.

The designs were created from original nature photography, abstract paintings and hand drawn illustrations. All inspired by a passion for biophilia, these are a fresh take on the botanical theme with an ethereal feel and mineral patinated metallic tones.

The full range is available here to purchase.

Summer Solstice | Reflecting on the year so far

I can’t believe we’re almost halfway through the year already! At the beginning of this year there were a few things I wanted to work on regarding my creativity, business and general well-being. I’m always looking to grow and development my creative business, so here’s what I’ve been up to and why.

Summer Holidays | Isle of Man

For our summer holidays, we went over to the Isle of Man for practice week of the TT. It was the first time I’ve joined my husband Toby on the trip, actually managed to both pack for camping for one week on the bike, woohoo! The weather was pretty wet and windy for most the week so not a lot of action on the track, but we did get to see more of the island.

Inspiration | Dahlias

Following the launch of new art prints, I thought I’d share some of the inspiration behind my drawings. Living in Staffordshire, I’ve got some great National Trust properties nearby, and love exploring them all throughout the year.
