Finding Your Power in Surface Pattern Design: An Interview with Hollei Anne Hayes

In this episode of The Print Life Podcast, I’m joined by Hollei Anne Hayes, the founder of Hollei Anne Design Co., who has spent over a decade honing her craft in the design industry. After working with esteemed brands like Toys R Us and Skip Hop, Hollei transitioned to full-time freelance and now runs her own creative studio, where her art has been seen in major retailers like Target, TJ Maxx, and Hallmark. 🌟

We talk about her journey from corporate to owning her own business, the power of embracing your unique creative voice, and how she balances creating trend-forward designs with her own personal style. Hollei also shares invaluable insights on pricing your work, navigating the surface pattern design world, and making your art commercially viable.

The big takeaway? No one is you, and that is your power. This episode is full of inspiration for designers looking to build a sustainable business and own their creative space.

Whether you're new to surface pattern design or an experienced freelancer, this conversation is a must-listen. 🎧
