• My name is Carrie Cantwell, and I’m a surface designer and educator. I have a BFA in graphic design, and I’ve been using Adobe products for over 20 years. I became a surface designer in 2020, so when I started creating patterns, I devised a system that helps me make the most of my time. I’ve made hundreds of patterns using my quadrant system, and I make a pretty decent living from royalties through print-on-demand websites like Spoonflower. My patterns have been featured in Peppermint Magazine, and Spoonflower, Society6 and Raspberry Creek have promoted my patterns through their websites and social media accounts..
