Available to hire
Hi, I’m Rupali Vishwakarma, a surface pattern designer and illustrator based in Pune. I transform initial doodles and hand-painted motifs into market-ready prints for home textiles, apparel, and lifestyle products, with a keen eye for color, trend forecasting, and production coordination.
Over 5 years of experience across international client briefs, I specialize in creating cohesive print collections, woven, screen, digital printing, embroidery, and beadwork layouts. I love collaborating with production teams to bring commercial design visions to life and continually expand my craft through teaching and freelance projects.
