ABOUT ME
Hi there! I’m Wendy, a Botanical Artist and Surface Pattern Designer based in Brisbane, Australia. I work primarily with watercolour, capturing the timeless beauty of flowers and transforming them into elegant, joyful designs.
With a background in engineering, I’ve worked full-time as a Metallurgist and Process Engineer since 2017. Though I grew up drawing and making things by hand, my creative pursuits took a back seat during my studies. It wasn’t until 2019 that I returned to art, drawn back by a deep longing to create and reconnect with nature.
In 2022, I discovered watercolours and fell in love with their delicacy and versatility and expressive potential. I mainly use Winsor & Newton paints, but I’ve recently begun incorporating handmade watercolours for their beautiful granulation and unique pigment characteristics. Every piece I paint is a celebration of the natural world—especially flowers, which continue to inspire me every day.
As I nurtured my art practice, I realized my deeper mission: to create beauty, encourage intentional living, and remind others of their innate creativity. By sharing my art and my journey, I hope to inspire others to reignite their own creative spark and reconnect with the joy of making.
This led me to start Nature Designs by Wendy—a growing collection of fine art, stationery, and creative tools designed to uplift, ground, and inspire.
MY VISION
I believe that beauty and creativity are not luxuries—they're essential. We’re all born creative, and when we reconnect with that part of ourselves, we begin to see the world differently: more fully, more joyfully, and more intentionally.
Through my art, I hope to share the beauty I find in nature and bring it into the hands and homes of others. Whether it's through a botanical print, a floral notebook, or a floral-themed planner, I want my creations to spark inspiration and help others find meaning in the everyday.
By building this business and following my own dreams, I hope to inspire others to do the same—to believe in their vision, trust their path, and take courageous steps toward the life they truly want.
My dream is to grow Nature Designs by Wendy into a brand that celebrates creativity, mindfulness, and the elegance of nature—one flower and one page at a time.
"By doing what you love, you inspire and awaken the hearts of others".
FLOWERS X PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity has always been a big part of my life, shaping my days and becoming even more essential since I set out on the journey to become a full-time artist and small business owner—all while working full-time as an engineer.
As I continue along this path, I am inspired to bring together productivity, creativity, and my love for flowers—three things deeply meaningful to me. In a world full of distractions, it’s more important than ever to reclaim our focus and live with intention, so we can spend more time doing what we love and fully engage with the present moment.
In the words of one observer, “There are maybe trillions of dollars but at least hundreds of billions of dollars that are being made and dedicated every day to getting you to do nothing. It's not a fair fight, and they're winning.” True productivity isn’t about doing more, but about doing what matters. It’s about intentionally building a life we love and becoming the person we want to be.
That’s why I’m excited to be working behind-the-scenes on creating a line of floral productivity stationery designed to bring more purpose and beauty into daily life. From floral-inspired notebooks and planners to calendars, habit trackers, and notepads, my goal is to craft tools that support intentional, joyful, and productive living.
MY MISSION
🌸 To create beauty through flowers, inspire intentional living, and help others reconnect with their creativity.
As an avid reader of all things productivity, I’ve spent years learning how to manage my time, energy, and focus—especially while building my art business alongside a full-time job. Along the way, I discovered that true productivity isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters with intention.
These principles have transformed my life for the better and helped me become the best version of myself, helping me find clarity, balance, and joy in both my art and everyday routines. Now, I want to share what I’ve learned with others—through thoughtfully designed stationery that blends beauty and function.
My goal is to create floral-inspired planners, notebooks, calendars, and creative tools that not only support intentional living but also add a touch of inspiration to your daily life. Through my products, I hope to encourage others to slow down, focus on what matters, and design a life they truly love.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
