oh Hello!
I'm Mable!
i'm a surface pattern designer, mum, wife, cake lover, multi passionate creative
I live in Melbourne, Australia with my husband and son. I grew up in Malaysia up until 25, and then moved to Melbourne all on my own.
I've always dabbled in different creative careers and have successfully made a living as a journalist, stylist, fine art photographer and surface pattern designer. If there's one thing to know about me, I'm a small package with big dreams.
I've been selling my art on Etsy and print-on-demand platforms for about ten years. I'd basically learned how to use a camera, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator all from the Internet (thank you Google!). And then in 2018, I discovered Bonnie Christine's Immersion course. That's when I fell head over heels in love with surface pattern design (I didn't even know it was a thing!) and I haven't looked back since.
For 12 months, I worked on refining my skills around my son's nap times, late into the night (cos I'm not a really morning person), and on weekends. Social life? Zilch. Zero. Nada. I literally had none. I didn't see (most) friends for a whole year.
Seeing my designs come to life is a dream come true!
In Feb 2019, I landed my first textile gig with Hawthorne Supply Co. and released three fabric collections with them. in September 2019, my fabric collection with Paintbrush Fabrics Studio was sold all over the world. One of my designs was licensed by Monster Threads in Australia, and was used on various gifts and apparels.
I love drawing flowers and birds! 😍
I find inspiration in nature.

If you're a creative director seeking fresh, nature-inspired patterns for upcoming projects, I'd love to connect. I'd be delighted to share my portfolio and discuss how we might collaborate on something that delights your audience.

my tools
All skilled tradesperson have tools, and I'm no different. I'd draw with my Wacom Cintiq and create collections of patterns on Adobe Illustrator.
02
My family is my everything. I would not have achieved what I have without my husband's encouragement and support. And it is so important for me to be able to spend time with my son. I am really grateful to have a 'job' that gives me the flexibility and space to be a mum.
