About Me

Hello & welcome to my world of surface pattern design, art and illustration! 

 

I'm Rebecca Johnstone, a surface pattern designer, illustrator, textile artist, writer and mother, with a first class honours degree in printed textiles from Heriot-Watt University in Galashiels, the Scottish Borders.

Based in rural Scotland, UK, I'm a dopamine-dresser, and a cold-water swimmer fuelled by tea. So much tea. And matcha!

 
A maximalist at heart, my designs are striking, spirited and confident, mixing bold colour and symmetry to create an eclectic, individual aesthetic.
And I LOVE art nouveau...check out my 100-day project for 2024 - #100daysofartnouveaucolourpalettes

 

I design fun journals for documenting New Beginnings, wild swims, and scrapbook papers and elements for both physical and digital use. Art is my heart and I love stationery and scrapbook supplies <3

Dream products to design in 2024: washi tape, enamel mugs and loads more journals and scrapbooks!

With inspiration and joy,
