Original prints, repeat systems and AI-directed imagery for fashion, home and lifestyle brands.
Drawn by hand, tested to repeat, made to live on real cloth.
600+ original designs,
seven years in studio.
Every surface I make begins as a drawing. I'm Shruti, a textile and surface-pattern designer who also directs AI imagery with the same trained eye. I work with fashion, home and lifestyle brands who want a pattern that feels like theirs alone.
More about me ↓Original motifs, seamless repeats and colourways for apparel and home.
Bedsheets, curtains, covers and wallpaper — scaled and coloured for interiors.
Campaign and product visuals, directed with AI and refined by hand.
Every pattern I ship repeats without a seam. One is drifting past you now.
Each one carried from a first sketch to the surface you finally touch.
It began at the doorways of Morocco, the carved and tiled kind you walk through slowly.
I hand-illustrated an archway mural and set it into a half-drop repeat that runs across a full wall without a visible seam. Soft, hand-painted colour washes give it an antique calm, delivered to Modeco Home as print-ready artwork.

Birds nest in a botanical thicket that never shows you where it ends.
I built a bird-and-botanical repeat and carried it all the way into fashion boards, colourways and garment mockups. Every print reads as one design story a label can build a season around.
A trout's skin holds more colour logic than most fabric libraries ever attempt.
For a private fishing apparel brief, I translated trout markings, current-like movement and camouflage textures into an eleven-piece seamless repeat collection. Each print was built print-ready and scale-checked across hooded fishing shirts before delivery.
AI is a camera I direct, not a hand that replaces mine. The tool changed. The taste didn't.
Every AI project is disclosed as AI-directed and finished by hand until nothing reads synthetic. If it looks like AI, it isn't done.
What do you want to make? Something that already exists and needs new life, or something entirely new? Do you have ideas, or shall we explore together? We sit with these questions until the picture becomes clear to us both.
I compose the design's visual board — sketching motifs, collecting textures, curating elements, choosing the colour palette. The whole mood of the design, gathered in one place.
The board moves into Photoshop, where the design finds its composition — layout, placement, colouring, then the finer touches: shadows, textures, contouring. And all along, I keep showing you — a little at a time, so we shape it together as it grows, never one big reveal you might not love.
The print is ready for you to see — every motif in its place, the repeat flowing seamlessly, the colours exactly as we imagined them.
If anything needs changing, I am there. We keep shaping it together until you are fully happy with the result — and then the design is yours.

I grew up where pattern was never just decoration. Phulkari at weddings, block prints in the bazaar, the borders running along my mother's dupattas. I was copying them by hand long before I knew it could be a profession.
Now the drawings travel further than I do. They turn up as murals, as bridal panels, as whole brand worlds built with a new kind of pencil. Same hand behind each one, whether it holds a brush or directs a machine.

How pencil and prompt end up in the same hand.
Almost never at the computer. It starts with something old — a museum wall, a temple carving, a scrap of block-printed cloth. I sketch by hand first, because the hand makes decisions the mouse never would. The screen comes later, when the motif has earned its repeat.
None. When a brand needs campaign imagery without a photoshoot, I bring the same eye I bring to a paisley: palette, proportion, where the light falls.
Colour, before anything else. A modest motif in a considered palette will outclass a virtuoso motif in careless colour every time. Restraint reads as luxury. I'd rather remove one element than add three.
