Whimsical Surface Pattern Design & Illustration for Licensing

Stephanie Beischer is a Chicago-based surface pattern designer and children's book illustrator whose whimsical, character-driven style has found its way onto puzzles, advent calendars, greeting cards, gift wrap, and more. Formally trained in illustration and with over 25 years of professional graphic design experience, she brings a deep understanding of commercial art, production, and storytelling to every collection she creates. Her work is hand-crafted from start to finish with no AI, ever — and it shows in the warmth and detail that makes her art stand out on shelf.

Licensing and collaboration are at the heart of what Stephanie does. She works with manufacturers, publishers, stationery brands, greeting card companies, home décor brands, toy companies, and independent makers across the children's, pet, gift, and textile markets. Whether you need a complete surface pattern collection, a single hero illustration, or a custom freelance project built from scratch, she brings the same level of craft and intentionality to every engagement.

New collections, fresh colorways, and one-of-a-kind pieces are added throughout the year across winter holiday, floral, everyday, and children's book illustration. The full licensing portfolio featuring hundreds of designs across every season, theme, and colorway is available upon request.
