Happy Dolphin Studio
Welcome to my world of surface pattern design! I create unique, beautiful patterns that add style and personality to everyday life. Whether you’re after custom wedding stationery, home décor, fabric for your next sewing project, or fun accessories, my designs come to life across two platforms. On Zazzle, explore personalized wedding invites, custom envelopes, and gifts like monogrammed cornhole sets and stickers. On Spoonflower, find my patterns on fabric, wallpaper, bedding, and more.
Inspired by painting, nature, science, and history, I blend natural and geometric shapes with timeless simplicity. Lately, I’ve been diving into the art of historic pattern-making—studying classics like Toile de Jouy and William Morris as I explore ways to bring their charm into modern designs.

Get to know the artist
Hi, I’m Jolanda—a surface pattern designer with a love for creativity, history, and the beauty of the natural world. My journey to designing patterns started in an unexpected place: the lab! With a background in medicinal chemistry, I’ve always been fascinated by the structures, colors, and patterns found in science and nature. Today, I channel that curiosity into creating designs that bring joy, elegance, and inspiration into everyday life.
When I’m not immersed in painting or crafting new designs, you’ll likely find me exploring the outdoors, reading up on history, or experimenting with new techniques to refine my craft.
Every pattern I create reflects a bit of my journey, my love for the natural world, and my drive to keep learning and evolving. Whether you’re looking for a unique design to brighten your home, a fabric for your next sewing project, or something truly custom, I’d love to bring your vision to life.
Thank you for supporting independent artists like me. Let’s make something beautiful together!
