I recently designed a poster and 10 signs for the Eco Explorer trail at @Bents gardenhome. As a family, we are big fans of Eco Explorer so I was delighted to be asked to work on this project for them. The poster and signs are now up in Bents and I can’t wait to go to see them. Sorry, I’ve been very quiet on the pattern front as was so busy and I’m away at the moment, but I’ll be back on track very soon #graphicdesign #childrendesign #graphicdesigner #posterdesign #ecoexplorer #bentsgardenandhome #goldiemoran #familytrail #signdesign

#marchmeetthemaker day 21: my design process... I start with research usually Pinterest, instagram, google, and if I feel it’ll help my process, I create a digital moodboard. This helps me keep on track and with colour palette ideas. I then sketch all motifs I’ll need and sometimes cut up paper in to shapes and stick down. Then it goes in to Illustrator and sometime later I have a pattern/illustration. #floralpattern #floralpattern #papercutting #surfacedesign #surfacepattern #design #paperart #designprocess #goldiemoran #letsmakepattern #madeinstockport #pattern

Having fun trying out my designs on products to see what works this morning ....
#marchmeetthemaker Day 15: Motivation/goals I go through periods of being hugely motivated and I’ll make steps towards my goals every day but then I can just suddenly step away for months and have a break. I can’t explain why, I don’t know if I burn myself out but I’m on track at the moment and that makes me happy. I’m enjoying creating so much at the moment so if anyone has any tips to stay on track, send them my way. My goal is to one day have my patterns/designs on products in the shops I’m working towards manufacturing my own products in the near future which is really exciting! #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #goldiemoran #patterns #springpattern #childrenswear #childrensapparel #kidsapparel #babygrowdesign #babygrowpattern #babyapparel #baby #illustrator
Making fruit with paper today - A couple of people have mentioned liking my cut out paper designs recently so inspired me to do it again. I’ll put in to Illustrator and see what I can come up. #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #patterns #pattern #fruitpattern #papercutting #paperart #creatingwithpaper #applepattern #watermelon #lemon #goldiemoran
Reworking an old pattern. Love the retro feel!! I’ve been rubbish at keeping up with @marchmeetthemaker as wasn’t always relevant to me but today’s is so here it is. Day 14 - How you Learnt. I studied graphic design at @york_college over 20 years ago and I more recently studied surface pattern design with @rachaeltaylor_ on @makeitindesign courses (modules 1-3). Cannot recommend this enough, I learnt so much. Saying that, I’ve still got loads to learn but I’m enjoying learning every day. Currently learning to block print, designing products and next on my long list is designing my website #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #florals #retroflorals #illustration #goldiemoran #floralpattern #flowers #patterns #patterndesign #printandpattern
First day of March and St David’s day! Perfect time to create a spring pattern from the drawing I did last weekend. Lots of plans for this .. get it on to spoonflower so you be can order as fabric (so cute for children’s clothes!) and wrapping paper, prints and Easter cards. #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #printandpattern #goldiemoran #designer #illustration #springpattern #harepattern #rabbitpattern #springrabbits #easterpattern #easter #springvibes #giftwrap #fabricpattern
