Kiran Ravilious is a pattern designer who uses the old fashioned technique of lino printing to develop her designs for textiles and paper goods.

Established in 2012, her designs have a hint of the tropics to them as she was raised in Singapore. While never strictly botanical, her work is a unique fusion of very different inspirations: the lush tropical growth of her homeland with the delicate patterns of English nature.

She has been commissioned by Heals and has her designs stocked in many museums, galleries and shops across the UK including Kew Gardens, Fortnum and Mason, Daunt Books, Lutyens & Rubeinstein and more.

Her work has been featured in publications including The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Homes & Antiques, House Beautiful, Period Living and Country Living magazines.

Apart from design and art, Kiran’s other passion is the border terrier! She loves dogs and has three of her own, Daisy, Fred and Ralph who fill her heart and keep her jumpers hairy!
