Gemma Lofthouse

As an experienced textile and print designer with a deep passion for colour, pattern, and texture, I specialise in creating innovative designs for a wide variety of products, from homewares, upholstery, giftware, and stationery to fashion and accessories. Over the years, I’ve honed my expertise in designing collections that blend artistic hand-painted prints with market-driven trends, helping brands and manufacturers bring fresh, creative concepts to life. With a strong background in trend analysis and direction, I’m skilled at anticipating the changes in the market and translating those insights into cohesive and captivating designs that speak to the consumers. Whether it’s developing luxurious, tactile textiles for home decor or creating striking prints for fabric collections, I approach each project with a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, longevity, and originality. I thrive in environments where creativity and analytical thinking intersect, and my hands-on experience - from initial concept to final product - has given me a unique perspective on both design and production processes. I am driven by the belief that every design tells a story, and my aim is to create designs that inspire, elevate, and transform everyday spaces and products. If you're looking for a designer who combines a love of traditional craftsmanship with a forward-thinking approach to modern design trends, I’d love to connect! Along with commissions, I also runs the GLD Pattern Library - a source for ready to purchase print designs. Contact for access.
