Hello there!
Mable Tan is a Melbourne-based surface designer whose artwork brings a sense of joy, wonder, and storytelling to everyday life.
Her signature style is playful yet refined, blending charming characters, nature-inspired motifs, and vintage influences with a bright, optimistic colour palette.
Whether it’s florals, seasonal illustrations, or whimsical repeats, her designs are both expressive and commercially ready—made with real products and real homes in mind.
Mable’s patterns have been licensed by brands like Target, RICE, and Urban Outfitters, and featured in publications including Flow and Origin. With a strong surface design sensibility and an instinct for what resonates with customers, her work spans fabric, homeware, stationery, and home décor.
She believes that good design can bring small moments of joy into everyday spaces—and her collections are created to do exactly that.
I love drawing animals, flowers and birds! 😍
I find inspiration in nature.

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.
