Role: Packaging, Illustration, Pattern & Surface Design
Mark & Graham is a premium lifestyle and gift brand known for beautifully designed, personalized products combining classic style with modern customization. Founded in 2012 as part of Williams-Sonoma, Inc., the brand specializes in monogrammed and personalized goods, including handbags, travel accessories, home décor, entertaining pieces, jewelry, and gifts. I have worked with their design director for several years on a variety of design projects, from custom mahjong sets to candle packaging.
Spot Illustrations
In collaboration with Mark & Graham’s design director, I illustrated a collection of motifs for embroidered totes, pouches, and cushions translating diverse themes – including sports, Chinoiserie, travel, and celebratory occasions – into artwork optimized for stitched production.
Candle Packaging
I created a premium packaging system for a series of candle sets, pairing gold foil finishes with custom block-print patterns and carnival stripes to create a distinctive, gift-worthy presentation.
Seasonal Motifs
For the past few holiday collections, I’ve illustrated a variety of seasonal motifs across knitwear, pajamas, stockings, home décor, and pet apparel. Highlights included a festive Nantucket boat parade, nutcracker dogs, acrobatic skiers, and a vintage winter toile pattern.
Beyond the featured collections, I’ve worked with the design director on a range of original surface patterns and decorative motifs across multiple product categories.
