Welcome to Crystal W Design
Surface Pattern Design Art Licensing
Hello! I’m Crystal
My journey in textile and surface pattern design has been about creating a life loved, a dream career, and connecting with family from the coast to the mountains.
My art style is known for hand-painted watercolor florals, vintage, soft texture, delicate details, and selective trend.
My best-selling artwork is informed by extensive industry experience in print and pattern, for home decor, fashion, and stationery for sales-driven products sold at national retailers.
I partner with brands to blend expertise with handcrafted art for relevant yet unique prints that make products stand out.
I look forward to learning more about your goals and creating something wonderful together!
My design philosophy is that collaboration and concept are foundational.

The primary types of licenses provided are rights to use the designs for finite, limited licensing terms, The following is a brief description of each type of license offered.
Non exclusive is the least expensive. It’s for artwork that elevates a product without concern about competitors having the same design.
Exclusive is twice as expensive as a non exclusive and offers category specific product license that allows only your organization to have the design during your license term.
For example, if you make kids clothing, and would like an exclusive license, no other kids clothing maker can have the design while you have an active license.
Custom/Commission is to explore a commission to create a new design. This option tends to be more costly than the previous options but it always depends on what the project requires. I price accordingly to how much work I would be required to do.
I usually do not offer buyouts of my work but it depends on the project.
