It’s hard not to appreciate other sites, services and artists that embrace repetition. Pattern People, a surface design studio founded by designers, Claudia Brown and Jessie Whipple Vickery does just that. Based in Portland, Oregon and London, the creative duo make designs using paint, ink, graphite, and pixels for a range of projects and products – from wrap-around residential murals to perfume and chocolate packaging. The patterns on their site are refreshing, vivid and youthful and range from commercial to experimental.

We’re excited to announce that they’ve just introduced a feature geared towards the DIY design crowd that lets users download free prints. These patterns can be recolored, customized, and rescaled for personal use. The prints include a range of styles from ikat interpretations to florals, conversationals and more. Check out their blog to get inspired and stay in the loop, and the next time you have a design dilemma that’s lacking “that special something,” consider calling in the texture troop!
