Welcome to Carmel Lorraine Designs
Custom Surface Design
I create custom surface designs for brands across homewares, textiles, stationery, and related products.
Each design is developed through a collaborative process, shaped by your brand direction and intended application.
Why Custom Design
A considered surface design can support a cohesive visual identity across products and collections.
It brings consistency across materials and helps create a unified visual language for your brand.
Background
I am a 2024 graduate of the Surface Design Immersion course with Bonnie Christine, and I bring a design-led, detail-focused approach to all custom work.



Free Pattern Planning Session
Free Pattern Planning Session
This Free Pattern Planning Session is a starting point for exploring a custom surface design for your brand.
Weโll discuss your brand direction, intended use, and the type of design that best aligns with your products and visual identity.
What to expect
- A conversation about your brand and design requirements
- Exploration of suitable design styles and applications
- Guidance on how custom surface design can be used across products
- Overview of the design process and file preparation
How the process works
You can choose to:
- Select a design from my existing portfolio
- Adapt an existing design
- Develop a fully custom design
Once your direction is confirmed, the design is created digitally and refined for final use across your chosen formats.
Licensing & usage
Designs are licensed for specific uses and time periods, depending on the agreement.
I retain copyright of all original artwork. Usage rights are granted as outlined in the licensing agreement.
Licensing structures may include:
- A flat licensing fee per design
- A royalty-based agreement based on sales
Full details are confirmed before work begins, along with a simple written agreement.
Process & payment
Once the direction is confirmed, a clear timeline and agreement are provided before the project begins.
Payments are accepted via Stripe, PayPal, or credit card.
