About The Printed Square Studio
Hello I'm Lena, the designer behind The Printed Square Studio, a Berlin-based pattern design studio cultivating nostalgia through whimsical and cheerful artwork.
Before The Printed Square Studio days, I studied Journalism in Hamburg, Fashion in London and Textile Design in Berlin, Paris and Winchester.
During my studies in London I discovered screen-printing and then found myself elbow deep in dye and soaking wet from washing screens in Philadelphia, this made me fall in love with patterns and textiles and the process of printing.
After long stints as an in-house designer for several fashion and print design studios in London, I set up my freelance surface pattern business in the summer of 2023.
A love of pretty pastels, vintage novelty prints, delicate florals and retro typography are at the heart of my work. With this in mind, I design patterns for kid’s and Women’s apparel and illustrations for paper goods and wall art. Everything is designed on a sunny and plant filled desk in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg, occasionally interrupted by my son in need of a cheesy sandwich.
My designs have been featured on a wide range of products by companies around the world and perhaps now they will also end up on your walls or in your mail box!
