About | Holly Schiefer

Over the past 15 years I have worked with and for some of the biggest companies in the UK and across the globe; from Apple to Victoria Secrets, Hugo Boss and Hallmark.

I have worked as a freelance surface designer for Collecting colour in New York and Sam Murray Studio, London, with clients including Gap, Anthropology and Victoria Secrets producing both repeat pattern designs and placement graphic prints for fashion and interiors.

My most recent work has taken my designs into the world of publishing. Over the past 18 months I have been illustrating a series of children's picture books for a wonderful author and I can't wait to share them with you very soon.

This year I had the opportunity to visit Bologna Children's book fair which further excited my passion and love for children's illustration. I am currently writing and illustrating my own children's book which I will be taking to Bologna next year, 2025!

After graduating from the Northern School of Art with first class honours in Textiles and Surface Design I was awarded the Texprint award where I was highlighted as one of the Top 20 Design graduates in the UK. I was selected by a panel of leading industry professionals including Zandre Rhodes and Greyson Perry *star struck moment* to take them through my portfolio.

I had the opportunity to showcase my work across Europe, exhibiting in London, Paris and Milan including holding my own stand at Premiere Vision in Paris. This opportunity accelerated my career gaining contacts and making connections with leading design companies throughout Europe and the USA.
