Pattern & Chaos founder Steph

Hi, I’m Steph.

I'm a designer, creator, environmental consultant, mum of two (plus one crazy pooch) and collector of beautiful oddities.

Pattern & Chaos began as a way to create bespoke, responsibly made t-shirts for my husband and children while indulging my own creative side. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a space where nature, colour and imagination could collide.

Every design starts with curiosity. Sometimes it's a pressed seaweed specimen that becomes a marine creature. Sometimes it's a flower that dissolves into pattern, or a familiar object transformed into something surreal. The common thread is a love of detail, texture and discovering something new each time you look.

Just as importantly, I wanted to create products I could feel proud to wear myself. In a world of fast fashion, disposable trends and throwaway clothing, I believe in choosing better. That's why I focus on premium-quality garments, ethical production and responsible materials wherever possible — creating pieces designed to be worn, loved and kept for years, not weeks. Pattern & Chaos is about finding beauty in both the natural world and the unexpected, while treading a little more lightly on it.

Thank you for supporting an independent artist and small family-run business. I hope these pieces bring a little colour, wonder and joy into your day.

If you have an idea of your own, I'd love to hear it. Get in touch and we'll see what we can create together.
