SURFACE DESIGNER
Andrea Davidson is a Czech-born surface pattern designer based in the United States. She finds inspiration in the beautiful nature of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the simplicity of everyday objects.

Her goal is to bring authenticity, fun, and warmth to the surface design world.
Work
My patterns are hand-drawn and built around bold, playful color palettes, organic shapes, and graphic details. I’m inspired by nature, everyday objects, and imperfect textures — the kinds of things that feel familiar, a little nostalgic, and visually comforting.I enjoy exploring a balance between expressive illustration and clean, modern design, creating patterns that feel lively but still work beautifully across fabric, wallpaper, stationery, and home goods.
MY STORY
My name is Andrea Davidson and I'm a Czech-born surface pattern designer based in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Growing up, I was always drawn to art and crafts. I remember my teachers admiring my work and encouraging me to pursue an art-focused education. Long story short, I didn't feel like I was good enough and chose something that seemed more practical - business education. So instead of drawing whatever my imagination came up with, I ended up drawing micro and macroeconomic graphs. So very fun and useful, right?After getting a Master's Degree in Marketing and Management I jumped into the corporate world where I spent almost ten years, climbing the ladder from an entry-level position to a supervisory role.
What brought me back to creativity and inspired me to explore new creative skills was the pandemic. I started drawing again, and even tried learning web design. This eventually led me to graphic design and Adobe Creative Cloud. Although I enjoyed working in Adobe and designing everything from business cards to birthday and wedding invitations, I just didn't feel totally fulfilled by these formats of work. Then, I discovered surface pattern design, and everything fell into place. It felt so natural.My patterns are mostly created in Procreate, as it allows me to produce work which I like to call "graphic minimalism with personality.” I tend to lean into Scandinavian-style patterns with a hand-drawn feel, bold colors and textures.My goal is to create fun patterns that bring authenticity, joy and color into a world increasingly filled with AI-generated "art" and gray and beige aesthetics.
