I'm Anna Svoboda, a surface pattern designer based in Brno, Czechia, creating hand-illustrated patterns for licensing across fabric, wallpaper, stationery, and home décor.

I believe a well-designed pattern does more than decorate — it shifts the mood of a space, calms or activates, depending on its rhythm and structure. That's what draws me to this work. And then there's the other layer I love: the history and story behind each pattern, the traditions and symbolism that have been woven into fabric and objects for centuries.

Each collection begins with research — into cultural context, symbolism, and craft heritage. The patterns are drawn by hand in Procreate and Affinity Designer, developed in coordinated collections, and available for licensing.

I started creating patterns in 2023 while living in British Columbia, Canada — where the mountains, forests, and ocean gave me endless inspiration. Back in Czechia, that curiosity for the natural world and its histories continues to shape everything I make.
