About Abby Miller

Surface Pattern Designer & Illustrator

Hi, I’m Abby Miller—a surface pattern designer and illustrator based in sunny San Diego, California. I create playful, story-driven prints for children’s clothing, fabric collections, and lifestyle goods. With a background in graphic design and over 20 years of creative experience, I bring together artistic intuition, professional polish, and a deep love for storytelling.

My designs are inspired by the magic of childlike curiosity and imagination—from backyard explorations and curious creatures to travel adventures and daydreams. I begin each piece by hand, sketching with acrylic markers and pen, before translating those marks into layered, expressive patterns that spark joy and delight.

I’m passionate about creating surface patterns that are both modern and timeless—prints that hold emotional resonance and lasting value. As a strong advocate for sustainable design, I aim to create heirloom-quality artwork that’s loved, worn, and passed from one family to the next.

Whether you’re looking to license an existing collection or collaborate on a custom design, I bring warmth, professionalism, and creativity to every partnership. Let’s create something meaningful and magical together.
