Behind the work
Ellie Day Studio creates print-led worlds for fashion and lifestyle brands — where art, history, and femininity are translated into modern surface design. Each collection begins with story and is crafted to feel expressive, considered, and timeless, whether licensed as-is or developed in close collaboration.
Let’s Create Together

Custom Print Design

From Inspiration To Print

From Inspiration To Print ⚡️
The Animal Print that Isn’t
Animal print is having a quiet moment — less literal, more elemental. More grown than designed. It's a direction I find endlessly interesting, and honestly, one my work has been living in for a while.
This month I'm watching it closely.
The Color Story of Nile Reverie
"This palette didn't come from a trend report. It came from temple interiors, oxidized copper, and lotus ponds at dawn….and then edited to a bolder vibe. The color story behind Nile Reverie — in three chapters." 🌸
The Making of Nile Reverie
"Every collection starts the same way — research spread across my desk and a blank piece of paper. This one reached back about 3,000 years. A look inside the craft process behind Nile Reverie — from motif sketching to watercolor, Procreate, and vector texture building."
The Long Way Back To Print
A personal reflection on fashion, print, and the long road back to the work that always felt essential.
Return to the Studio
A reflection on returning to the studio—reconnecting with hand painting, refining technical skills, and grounding surface pattern design in craft, history, and process.
Wilderkind and the Nefertiti Garden
Inspired by the Wilderkind aesthetic emerging across art and design, Nile Reverie explores a feminine narrative rooted in nature, mythology, and strength. Botanical motifs feel expressive rather than ornamental—evoking a cultivated yet untamed garden shaped by history, symbolism, and bold modern color.
