About Me
From seamless patterns to hand-drawn clip art, I design every product with personality, color, and charm — whether you’re crafting stickers, planning your next launch, or just want something pretty in your digital toolkit.
Everything here is made with heart, sarcasm, and a very large cup of coffee.
Hi, I’m Sonya — designer, cat mom, and the creative mind behind Printable Pretty.
As a creative professional, I believe in the power of design to transform ideas into visual stories. I started my journey in graphic design over two decades ago, immersing myself in various styles and techniques that fuel my passion for creating unique works. Each piece of art I produce is a reflection of my experiences and inspirations, guided by a desire to evoke emotions and spark creativity in others.
My workspace is a sanctuary where I blend creativity with technology. I often find myself surrounded by colorful sketches, tablets, and my beloved feline companion, who has a knack for interrupting my creative flow. This environment fosters inspiration, allowing me to explore new ideas and refine existing designs.
With over 25 years in graphic design, I’ve built this digital studio to share vibrant, original artwork that helps other creatives bring their ideas to life. From seamless patterns to hand-drawn illustrations, every product is thoughtfully designed with style, personality, and a love of beautiful details.
This shop is built for makers, small business owners, and fellow designers. Whether you’re creating packaging, stickers, apparel, or print-on-demand products, you’ll find design assets that are easy to use, well-organized, and crafted with purpose.
My process blends hand-drawn art with digital tools like Procreate, Illustrator, and AI — all while keeping the final designs clean, cohesive, and ready for download.
In my experience, collaboration with fellow creatives is essential for growth. I regularly engage with other designers and artists through online communities and local workshops. This exchange of ideas not only broadens my perspective but also inspires fresh concepts and techniques that I incorporate into my work.
My designs cater to various industries, from small businesses to larger corporations. I tailor my services to meet specific needs, ensuring that each client walks away with a product that reflects their brand identity. Whether you need a custom logo or a series of promotional materials, I take pride in delivering high-quality designs that stand out.
Thank you for supporting independent design. I’m glad you’re here!
Through continuous learning and adapting to current design trends, I strive to keep my work relevant and impactful. I frequently participate in webinars and courses to enhance my skills and stay ahead of the curve. This commitment to growth not only benefits my clients but also enriches my creative process.
My design philosophy is simple: I aim to create products that resonate with people. Whether it’s a joyful sticker for a planner or an elegant pattern for packaging, I want each design to feel personal and relatable. I often share stories behind my designs, helping customers connect with the artwork on a deeper level.

Whether you’re launching a new product or revamping your brand, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. I believe that effective design should not only be beautiful but also functional and accessible. I take the time to understand your goals and craft designs that meet your expectations while providing a delightful user experience.
In addition to my design journey, I love sharing insights and tips through my blog. I write about various topics, including design trends, software tutorials, and creative processes. This platform allows me to connect with fellow designers and enthusiasts, fostering a community where we can learn from each other.
As a part of my commitment to the design community, I also mentor aspiring designers. I believe that guidance and support can make a significant difference in someone’s creative journey. It is fulfilling to see others grow and succeed in their endeavors, and I am honored to play a role in that process.
With every project I undertake, I aim to leave a positive impact on the world through design. I’m passionate about sustainability and strive to incorporate eco-friendly practices into my work, ensuring that my designs are not only beautiful but also responsible. Together, we can create a better future through thoughtful design.
