Franziska Speer is a Netherlands-based freelance illustrator and surface pattern designer working as Franzi Speer. She creates playful, hand-drawn greeting card illustrations and coordinated seamless surface pattern collections for licensing, and is represented worldwide by Advocate Art. Designs are also available via Spoonflower. Her output is structured as licensing-ready mini-collections across seasonal and themed categories.
Joyful, hand-drawn illustration with bright, layered colour palettes. Subject matter spans botanical spring patterns (Easter/spring), seasonal themes (Halloween, Valentine's), and specific-theme ranges (equestrian, gaming, retro flowers, summer beach). The portfolio features clean, colourful all-over designs with a contemporary greeting card character and strong colour contrast suited to product and kidswear licensing.
Adobe Fresco is the primary tool for illustration and pattern work. Designs begin as hand-drawn illustrations and are developed into coordinated seamless pattern collections structured as mini-sets (hero design, secondary patterns, blender designs) - a standard licensing-ready collection format. Greeting card illustrations are developed alongside coordinating seamless patterns.
Greeting cards, home decor, kidswear, and stationery are the primary licensing targets. Represented by Advocate Art for worldwide licensing enquiries and custom commissions. Spoonflower channel (fabric, wallpaper, pillowcases, tea towels, tablecloths) provides a direct-order channel. The portfolio features printed product mockup contexts including fabric swatch and home product applications.
