Based in Sydney Australia, but hailing originally from The Caribbean, I am a graphic designer with a long history as a professional dancer, only coming to Graphic Design later in life, as a second career.
I stumbled upon the world of Surface Pattern Design while doing the Illustration unit of my Graphic Design Course. It’s taken a while to come to the realisation that this branch of design, to which I turn for enjoyment, is actually the thing I’d been looking for all these years. But now that I have, it is my energiser and motivation and also my haven of peace.
I feel like the universe is rolling it’s eyes at me saying“…well finally Natalie, it took you long enough!”
Design and illustration give me relief from the manic pace of modern life and all those tedious daily responsibilities.
Any busy Mum out there will appreciate how many hats one has to change into each day. Design is my daily meditation and sanity, but if along the way I can create something special that resonates with someone and gives them joy, then I feel truly blessed.
About Kaprichosa - Born from details - Built with soul.
Full disclosure - Kaprichosa is a word I made up, because English didn’t quite have one for what I needed to say. It describes the quiet magic of small things coming together to create something greater. It’s in nature, science, music, families and in all the ways the world harmonises, when each part plays its best role.
It’s where rhythm meets colour, where flavour meets feeling. It’s how I connect with the world and a reminder that my contribution matters.
The word Kaprichosa has become an adjective to me and my family to describe. whenever something captures that intricate, layered beauty I love.
And so, Kaprichosa Designs was born — built on the belief that little details, when crafted with care, can create something extraordinary.
