Clare Martin is an Australian surface pattern designer and illustrator working from Fremantle, Western Australia, trading as Clare Martin Design. She creates hand-drawn repeat patterns and illustrations for licensing across textiles, homewares, stationery, giftware, wallpaper, and children's products. Work has appeared on fabric, wallpaper, swimwear, games, and home décor. Pattern collections are available for exclusive and non-exclusive licensing via her website and through Patterned.com.

Martin's visual language is whimsical and nature-led - food-inspired motifs, joyful florals, whimsical animals, and vintage-referenced imagery built into layered, colourful compositions. Each design begins by hand before being refined digitally into repeat-ready artwork. Selected Instagram pattern images suggest richly textured compositions with a warm, handcrafted sensibility and an accessible palette. The work is consistently described as playful, with a strong illustrative character suited to gifting and home decor contexts.

Ink, nib pens, paintbrush, and coloured pencils as primary media; artwork is then refined digitally into production-ready repeats. Output covers surface pattern collections, illustration for product and packaging, and custom artwork for brand collaborations.
