Hi I’m Gemma, a UK based surface pattern designer, illustrator and branding person behind the creative agency ‘Hoopla and Hype”
Thanks for popping by!
A little bit about me…
You'll find me living in a little village in Warwickshire with my
ever-patient husband, our two little people and a crazy cocker spaniel.
A love of adventure that dates back to my childhood, I spent many long sunny summers in Sicily and Umbria, studied in Bologna and lived in London and Paris.
My illustration and design inspiration comes from my passions with travel, film, fashion
and glamorous life events taking centre stage.
I’ve illustrated and created designs for a number of UK and international clients, both
established and emerging businesses, where my skills have been
employed by luxury fashion and lifestyle brands and boutiques, agencies,
interior designers and more.
I love nothing more than seeing ideas grow from concept to creation
and I get an unbeatable buzz creating the perfect patterns and illustrations that
embodies a brands identity and message, so whether you’re a
start-up on a budget looking for creative patterns, bespoke illustrations or
you're looking for a fresh approach to revamp an existing
brand you’re in the right place!
If you’d like to work together, please just get in touch!
You can see a glimpse of my illustration style here and
