Samantha Mancino is the surface pattern designer behind Ryley Designs, a US-based pattern brand focused exclusively on the baby and children's industry. She is self-taught in Adobe Illustrator, having learned the software as a creative outlet during a career change after ten years working in healthcare. She now designs colourful, playful patterns for kids' products and positions the brand for art licensing with a structured, collection-based portfolio.
Playful, colourful, and childhood-themed. Collections are narrative and memory-driven: "Sweet Nostalgia" evokes ice cream and summer childhood; "Coastal Summer Vibes" draws on a New England coastal town ideal; "Flying High" is inspired by a hot air balloon festival. The portfolio features bright, character-rich repeat patterns well-suited to the children's product market.
Works in Adobe Illustrator, self-taught. Portfolio hosted on Adobe Portfolio. Output structured as licensing-ready named collections with clearly defined themes and colour palettes.
Exclusively focused on the baby and children's industry. Portfolio is actively structured for licensing enquiries. No documented commercial client history in the public record.
Spent ten years in healthcare before pursuing surface design as a creative outlet. Learned Adobe Illustrator independently to make stationery gifts for family. Developed this into a full pattern brand focused on children's products. Now designs as a wife and mother of two.
Themed collections for children's and baby markets. Story-led compositions with clear seasonal and narrative identity - summer nostalgia, coastal themes, adventure. The portfolio features clean vector illustration with bright, accessible palettes suited to kidswear, baby products, and stationery.
