Hello!

… and welcome to my little corner of the internet!

My name is Alma, a self-taught surface pattern designer and watercolour artist based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (I’ve started dipping my toes in illustration, too, but right now it’s just cute animal characters). In a previous life, I worked in the financial sector, but these days Photoshop and Illustrator have filled the vacancies left by spreadsheets and Bloomberg.

I create my artwork in both traditional and digital media; sometimes I play in my sketchbook with watercolour, ink, and coloured pencils, and other times I design entirely in Procreate.

I have been commissioned for both watercolour paintings as well as surface designs, and am always open for collaborations and commission work.

Come and join me here as I document and share my journey into the world of patterns, illustrations, and sketchbook tomfoolery.
