I’ve spent over 15 years as a textile and surface designer, obsessing over hand-drawn florals, ornate tile patterns, and anything with a good dose of vintage flair. I have a thing for unexpected color combos and love slipping in details that make you look twice. If it doesn’t have a little twang to it, it’s not done.

Print and pattern have always been my thing. I’m constantly exploring new techniques and looking for ways to go beyond the expected. Whether it’s loud and punchy or quiet and intricate, I’m always aiming to create designs that do more than look pretty—they should make you feel something. Preferably joy. Or envy. Either works.

When I’m not designing, you can find me spending my entire savings on soft cheeses and being emotionally manipulated by my dog, Kevin.

I am available for any freelance work and unsolicited life advice. I would love to collaborate on new projects. Reach out via email at rbauer0727@gmail.com to get in touch!
