Kia ora and thanks for stopping by!

I'm Cheyney, an independent New Zealand illustrator and surface pattern designer with nearly two decades of experience in the creative industry.

My work brings together illustration, graphic design, surface pattern, storytelling and a love of creating things that connect with people.

I've worked across commercial design, children's publishing, licensed artwork and digital creative marketplaces, with my original designs reaching customers and audiences around the world.

I'm particularly interested in creating distinctive artwork and collections that can live beyond the page, from children's books and educational products to textiles, stationery, homewares and other everyday products.

I also develop and sell original digital artwork, design assets and educational resources.

My approach combines commercial design experience with a genuine love of illustration, experimentation and making things.
