Gabby Rios is a Los Angeles-based graphic and surface pattern designer with a BFA in Graphic Design from Otis College of Art and Design (2017) and over 10 years of professional design experience. Born and raised in San Diego, she pivoted toward surface pattern design after her formal graphic design career, developing a nature-inspired practice that blends traditional painting with digital vector production. Her patterns are available for licensing (exclusive and non-exclusive), via Etsy (300+ sales), and as custom pattern design commissions.

Nature-inspired organic compositions built from India ink painting and mark-making. The portfolio features botanical motifs - her named collection "Rustic Blooms" indicates a floral direction - with an organic, flowing quality distinctive to the ink-first process. The aesthetic bridges hand-painted warmth with clean graphic design sensibility developed through a formal BFA background.

A two-stage process: traditional painting or drawing with India ink → import into Adobe Illustrator for vector conversion. Also creates on iPad using Procreate for drawings that retain a hand-drawn, organic feel. The India ink origin produces distinctive organic shapes that differentiate the work from purely digital vector patterns.

Print, packaging, web, and digital applications are the stated scope. Etsy shop (300+ sales, 100+ five-star reviews) provides a direct consumer channel. Licensing offered exclusively and non-exclusively. Custom pattern design commissions accepted. Open to new partnerships and collaborations.

Born and raised in San Diego; moved to Los Angeles in 2013. BFA in Graphic Design, Otis College of Art and Design, 2017. Worked across print, packaging, web, and digital design for 10+ years before discovering surface pattern design and shifting creative focus. Now operates a nature-inspired pattern practice alongside graphic design skills.

Nature-inspired botanical and organic repeat patterns derived from India ink painting. Latest declared collection: Rustic Blooms. The portfolio features floral and plant-based repeat compositions with a distinctive painted origin - organic forms that read as intentionally hand-crafted rather than digitally constructed.
