My name is Daniela (aka Nyel) and I am a UK-based illustrator and surface pattern designer, specialized in cute, playful art.

Inspired by colours, nature and random quirky things, I create cheerful pieces fit for a variety of products. My favourite subjects are birds, cute characters and stylized florals .

When I am not creating, I am learning new things, researching trends or walking around the city for inspiration.

BRINGING LITTLE SMILES INTO EVERYDAY LIFE

My designs celebrate the healing power of art. Amid painful events that shook my life, nurturing my creativity provided much-needed moments of cheerfulness.

It’s not just about making art. There’s genuine happiness in shopping for cute, silly stationery. Buying pretty things for your home. Finding the spot-on graphic for your loved ones.

As a creative, my mission is to bring more joy into the world, one playful design at a time.
