Deborah
Payne is a graphic designer living in Melbourne, on Florida’s Atlantic
coast. After receiving a BFA in graphic design from the University of
Illinois, her design career started at IBM and from there she went on to
work with companies large and small. Deborah has crafted everything
from logos and infographics to posters and publications.
Alongside
her corporate work, she designed a line of greeting cards exhibited at
the New York Stationery Show and was honored to receive three
prestigious Louie Awards from the Greeting Card Association. In addition
to her work as a graphic designer, Deborah has taught classes in Adobe
Illustrator, Typography and Color Theory and Practice.
Her
work in surface pattern design is influenced by classical modernism,
Japanese textile design and contemporary folk art. Deborah’s love for
illustration took on a new dimension when she brought the iPad Pro +
Apple Pencil into her work flow. Her growing library of hand-drawn
motifs and illustrations provides inspiration for her collection of
surface designs.
Deborah’s
vibrant signature style is described as bold yet whimsical, decorative
but minimalist, and always lovely. She is thrilled to make her debut in
surface design at Blue Print with several collections and 100+ designs.
Goals for the show include getting feedback from buyers, agents and
fellow exhibitors, and exploring opportunities for licensing and
collaborations.
