Dawn Clarkson is a British surface pattern designer based in Turin, northern Italy, where she has lived for over 25 years. A trained graphic designer with more than 20 years of experience in surface pattern design, she creates original repeat patterns available for licensing across hundreds of product categories.

Drawn to plants, flowers, and the natural world, her motifs incorporate organic forms, blooms and buds, leaves, and occasional butterflies - though she notes her work is "not representative and hardly ever realistic."

The portfolio features a strong graphic character with nature as the underlying, abstracted reference.
