About Me
Hello & Welcome !
I am Barbara Pritchard, the Designer and Creative behind the 'Peach Pineapple Creative' brand located in the beautiful Worcestershire, Cotswolds, UK.
I am a Freelance Surface Pattern / Print Designer and experienced Fashion Designer.
I began my 'Surface Pattern Design Journey' as I was looking for an Exciting New Design Challenge.
I create Surface Patterns and Print designs for: Woman's Fashion specialising in Swimwear, Activewear and Resortwear.
The Longer Version.....
My Background is in Fashion Design, I have a degree in Fashion Design and Pattern drafting from FIDM in Los Angeles.
(The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising)
I am an experienced Seamstress having worked in the Bridal Industry and the Garment Industry for many years.
As a Knitwear Designer I have designed for ITV’s 'This Morning' TV programme and had my textile Pattern designs featured in ‘Machine Knitting Monthly' magazine in the UK.
I embrace my motto, "Dare to be Bold," which has shaped my diverse career journey. With 18 years in marketing and extensive experience with three major cruise lines: Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line and Holland America Line as Entertainment Cruise Staff, I've traveled the World, worked with many Nationalities and gained valuable insights. My background in various creative fields has allowed me to understand different industries from multiple perspectives, enabling me to transform my designs into commercial Art that can effectively boost your Brand's product sales.
My Art is inspired by my travels, by interesting geometric shapes and by trends /colours, both Bold and subtle.
My artwork style is abstract and eclectic. I most enjoy creating artwork that is Strong, Bold and just that bit different.
From feature prints to coordinating supporting designs each print is distinctive and each one has a personality of its own.
You will find unexpected shapes and depth in my work which gives my pieces personality through details that others may not notice at first glance.
Peach Pineapple Creative is the result of years of designing and collecting art and things from all over the world which was born from my love of fashion, textiles and beautiful objects.
My passion is creating beautiful artwork that makes people feel Happy and Inspires Them, to be BOLD.
I am also keen to explore new markets giving me further opportunities to create and develop my ideas into more product ranges
