pattern of the day

My name is Verity, and I’m a Denver-based designer and illustrator. My latest professional passion is pattern design, hence this blog.

I’ve been designing patterns since I was a tiny kid. I’ve always been drawn to pen & ink line art, circles, repeating shapes. So I’m basically coming full circle (so to speak) and am doing the same thing I did when I was five.

I also own a small business called Grow. We design, manufacture and retail kids’ clothing, bedding and other products. We have a store/studio just north of a historic shopping district in Denver, and we have our offices and warehouse in the same space.

My husband Ted is an urban planner, and we share a rarely tidy Craftsman bungalow with our three boys — Henry, 12; Gus, 8; and Ernie, 3 — two cats, Sadie Scout & Olive, and an extra-large goldfish named Hank.
