Home Decor Floral Collections

Spring Floral, patterns, easter themed for fabrics and to license

Grand millennial floral patterns for coastal cottage, french country, blue green collection of patterns available to buy on fabric, wallpaper, and home decor.

In many ways, my art licensing business was inevitable, after years of groundwork. I made my introduction to POD when it was just finding its legs, and I grew with it, appreciating the challenges, strengths, and potential. 

I have a long history of figurative practice. Having people in my portfolio feels nice to elaborate on my personality and whimsical nature.

Growing up, as an aspiring fashionista, my grandma and I frequented thrift shops, yard sales and the likes to go treasure hunting, for me that was clothes to tailor to the latest trends.

When I started my business, career autonomy was important, and it has been just that, but high performance is how I was effective, and it was no longer possible.

New collections, behind the scene and features

A memoir for my mom.

Grief is dynamic and stinging.

She would come to me in a dream at my door, with a hug, following tears earlier that day. 

Nothing has changed, she reminds me. Except everything has changed.

My first full-time design job was in wallpaper in 2005. Fast forward to 2015, when I started my design business, wallpaper felt like it was cycling back into style. At that point, I could fully see through ideas to reimagine papered walls.

Here I share some reasons to use paper, how to hang it, and where to buy my designs.

Starting my business wasn't only about a love of florals and other pretty designs. It was also about making room for motherhood.

Meet Gwen. She's helping me behind the scenes with design proofing, formatting, editorial projects, and hopefully much more!

I discuss some of the aspects that I feel have most greatly impacted my ability to create a flourishing art licensing business.

A lot of people ask me how to sell designs on Spoonflower, so I will lay out exactly how I create, digitize, and upload to Spoonflower and other platforms for my business

Crystal W Design has been an artist with Hawthorne Supply Co since June 3rd 2019

I was still working at a full-time design job when I joined Spoonflower, but a few years later, as I was watching my passive income become more interesting, I formulated a plan.
