Info & FAQ for Pattern Designers (click to toggle)

How can I join the directory?

The directory is curated and invite-only to maintain high quality. If you’re interested in applying, please email hello@creativehowl.com and include a link to your social media. Note that I may not be able to respond to every application.

What’s the goal of the directory?

The goal is to create a high-quality directory of surface pattern designers, making it easy for companies to find talented designers to hire and showcase amazing creatives.

The directory emphasizes featuring women and pattern designers with smaller followings, but all genders are welcome, as well as creators with big and small followings.

Do you take any fees or commissions?

No, joining the directory is completely free. There are no fees, commissions, or other charges. Besides submitting your text and images, there are no other commitments.

Why is it free?

I believe it’s fair to offer this service for free, given what I’m providing. Additionally, to maintain a directory of high-quality and professional pattern designers only, I think it’s important that joining is not “pay to join.”

How are you promoting the Surface Pattern Designer directory?

The directory is part of Creativehowl and receives visitors from the main site. It is also promoted through our social media channels, but the primary source of traffic is search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, and Bing. With the help of participating pattern designers sharing and spreading the word about the directory, the project grows and attracts more traffic. Together, we can grow this directory.

If I decide to join how and where will my pattern designs be used?

Your images will only be used in your directory listing and on Creativehowl’s social media channels to promote your listing and the directory.

I’m part of an agency, is that an issue for joining?

No, it’s not a problem at all. This is just an online directory of surface pattern designers. It’s not an agency, and we don’t take any fees or commissions.”

Who is behind the Pattern Designer Directory & Creativehowl?

My name is Jonas Welin, and I’m the creator of Creativehowl. I’m an illustrator and sculptor with a passion for sharing resources and inspiration with the creative community.

Is AI art allowed in the Pattern Designer Directory?

No, AI art or so-called “AI artists” are not allowed in the directory. Only real surface pattern designers are welcome here.

I’m listed in the directory and I want to be removed

Contact me at hello@creativehowl.com and I’ll remove your listing as soon as possible.
