When Creative Studio is a feel-good surface design and illustration studio based in Vancouver, BC.
The name When is a statement, not a question. It’s a nod to the unhurried freedom of my personal creative rhythm. When I’m making patterns, the process is pure feeling: I let the work evolve, making tiny adjustments—perhaps only visible to me—until it feels complete. This quiet, careful process is what guarantees thoughtful, balanced results that I am genuinely proud and excited to see on your products. For clients seeking custom pattern commissions or packaging design, please rest assured: my meticulous organization ensures every deadline is met with professional ease, delivering work that is consistently smart, creative, and exactly on time. In short: I'm ready to tie my shoelaces and run my best race when there's a deadline, but I'm just as ready to kick them off when my work simply wants to wander.
