About

I’m Anna Podlewska, a print and textile designer with 15 year’s of industry experience working for London based luxury designers Roksanda, Solace, Vilshenko, Jasper Conran and Alexander McQueen, as well as working at commercial level for TopShop and Anthropologie US. I have worked in London, New York and Philadelphia, and am now based in Ireland.

My skillset:
I specialise in creating artful, bold print motifs with vibrant colour interactions - often starting with original paintings in oils or watercolour and refining through digital development. I have extensive experience developing artworks from vintage textiles and digitally redrawing delicate motifs.

I work across a broad range of artistic styles and love to create designs that suit a variety of brand aesthetics - from contemporary and abstract designs, to soft florals and heritage inspired motifs.

During my four years at Roksanda, my role encompassed both print and jacquard design development and, as such, I also have strong technical understanding of woven designs and communication with mills and suppliers.

I am technically skilled in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign.

My availability:
I am available immediately and I am happy to respond to briefs or assist with print concept development. I usually work remotely on a freelance or contracted basis, however I am also available to travel for periods of work in-house.
