Ellie Day blends timeless elegance with modern energy, creating surface patterns and graphics that layer color, texture, and storytelling into textiles, wallpapers, and fashion.
I’m Ellie Day, a surface pattern designer and artist creating hand-painted designs for textiles, wallpaper, and home décor. Each collection begins with paint, paper, and a story—rooted in historic inspiration, whimsical detail, and modern color stories that feel both artful and alive. My work blends timeless motifs with unexpected palettes, inviting a sense of discovery in every brushstroke.
Drawing on my background in the fashion industry, I design with movement, scale, and emotion in mind. My floral patterns and bold illustrative prints reflect the energy of couture mixed with the soul of craft—bringing beauty and spirit to interiors and collections alike.
Every pattern is hand-painted in my Chicago studio before being digitized and refined for licensing or production. This process preserves the authenticity of the artwork—the layered texture, the visible brushwork, the feeling of something truly made by hand. The result is a collection of prints that celebrate storytelling through design, rich color, and a joyful sense of imagination.
