Surface Pattern Design

Hi, I'm Helen of Tasmania Australia, often just referred to as 'H' and best known for my Hugs 'n Kisses brand. I Iove to make surface patterns with a gentle soft palette to soothe and inspire in your home and your creative space. My 3 beautiful daughters would say I love a good chat so I'd really like to 'meet' you.
