Hi! I'm Malissa Gillan, an illustrator and pattern designer
I help your ideas come to life with custom illustrations

Welcome! I began my career as a graphic designer in the outdoor apparel & CPG industry working for many big brands. Problem solving with visuals assets has been my life's passion and continues to fuel me every day.


Recently I have fallen in love with creating colorful illustrations and  pattern designs that use playful shapes inspired by retro charm. The art I create is designed to make people smile and spark a little magic in their day. 
 

When I'm not behind a screen, I love to snuggle up with my dog, watch scary movies & enjoy simple moments with my family. I live near the mountains and ocean so there is an endless supply of nature to inspire me on the daily.
 

I believe art should be shared and seen in the world. That’s why I am passionate about the idea of licensing my artwork — to collaborate with brands and makers who want to infuse their products with personality and color.
