About Heidi Vilkman

I am a Finnish-born surface pattern designer and illustrator. Growing up among the forests of Finland shaped my love for nature, storytelling and hidden detail — things that continue to inspire every design I create. After moving to the UK to study in my early twenties, I eventually settled in the lush valley of Hebden Bridge, England, where I live and work today.

I create nature inspired hand-drawn illustrations and surface repeat patterns for licensing, lifestyle brands, homeware, stationery, textiles, and gift products. My work combines artistry, craftsmanship, and storytelling to bring collections to life in a way that is cohesive, distinctive, and soulful.
