lara cameron
Lara Cameron had been working for herself as a web and interactive designer for some years before she developed an interest in textile design.
The move to designing textiles was a surprising progression yet one that felt very natural. It came as a result of positive feedback to pattern designs posted on her blog, and also a desire to be designing something of a more tactile nature, that could be experienced and enjoyed in the real world.
Lara currently designs for her own textile label of hand screen printed fabrics and looks forward to getting more hands on in the process and being able to experiment more with the medium.

I am a freelance designer based in Melbourne. I specialise in pattern design and illustration. I really wanted to be a Young Talent time member but after that got axed I decided on being a designer. Its understandable. I enjoy nothing more than making and drawing and hanging about with my kids.

pamela hall (walker)
Inspired by an article in a local newspaper about silk screen printing Pamela, a bored housewife living in New Guinea in the 1970’s set out to design printed fabric. An exclusive range of hand prints developed and were used in clothing, soft furnishings, toys and bags decorating nurseries and homes all over the world. Today sproutdesign brings Pam’s fresh designs back to life for today’s little (and big) people.
