Introducing Believe Creative Studio guest designer: Bethan Westran

Hello: I want to share with you the amazing work of Bethan Janine Westran.
I am fascinated with Bethan patterns, they are so colorful and full of life!

Bethan is based in Sheffield UK, She is a self taught textile designer and illustrator with a BA in fashion design, Since she was a little girl she has love to draw and paint so designing patterns was a natural career choice for her.

Bethan describes her style as quirky, fun and whimsical with a touch of femininity.

Bethan likes to use ink, marker pens and watercolour but mostly she hand draw her designs, scan in and play around with the layout and colour on the computer.

Here is Bethan mini-interview
