About

I’m Ishaa Malik, a Senior Textile & Surface Pattern Designer with 10+ years of experience creating commercially successful home furnishing collections for UK and European markets. I specialize in bedding, curtains, wallcoverings, kitchen linen, and surface pattern design—combining strong trend forecasting with repeat engineering, colorway development, and production-ready artwork.

I’ve developed print collections from custom briefs, researched seasonal trends and consumer preferences, and prepared accurate CAD artwork using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and CorelDRAW. Throughout my roles, I’ve collaborated closely with merchandising and sampling teams, supported repeat development and multiple commercial colorways, and focused on balancing creativity with market-driven results.
