About

I’m Sana Afrsar, a graduate surface pattern designer and illustrator based in Staffordshire, UK. I love turning detailed motifs into repeat patterns that are print-ready and visually cohesive, with a strong focus on colour matching, organisation, and producing high-quality outcomes from concept through to mock-ups.

Alongside design work, I’ve built customer-facing experience through event-focused roles such as professional henna artistry and community event organising. I’m also an Urdu/Hindi/Mirpuri interpreter, which has strengthened my communication and confidentiality habits, and I enjoy collaborating, responding to feedback, and delivering on time—whether I’m creating a heritage-inspired tile collection or developing embroidered, wearable textile ideas.
