Custom TLB Designs Hit the Children’s & Youth Fashion Scene ✨

June 1, 2025

I’m incredibly excited to share that TLB Art & Design custom patterns and illustrations are set to be featured on children’s and youth clothing and gymnastics bodysuits across Canada!

Two Canadian companies — one based in Alberta and one in Nova Scotia — have been working with me to bring my designs to life in their new collections. Both collaborations have been met with rave reviews from parents, athletes, and local boutique buyers.

These pieces feature my signature style: hand-painted and hand-drawn illustrations carefully blended with digital brushwork and elements. As with all my work, I never use AI in my artwork — each design is made with attention, heart, and an artist’s touch.

The feedback has been incredibly humbling. Through a shared connection, I received word that a buyer from a large North American clothing chain commented (off the record) on how gorgeous my work was. Even though it was an informal compliment passed along through someone else, I can’t help but feel encouraged by how warmly these designs are being received.

It’s especially meaningful to see my work moving into the children’s clothing space. There’s something joyful about creating designs that young people get to wear — whether they’re playing outside, heading to school, or shining on the gymnastics floor.

Each piece in these collections carries the playful, colourful, and slightly whimsical aesthetic that is central to much of my work. I love creating patterns and illustrations that spark imagination, feel lighthearted, and bring just a little more joy to everyday life.

This is just the beginning of where TLB Art & Design can go in the clothing and activewear world. If you’re interested in exploring custom design partnerships — whether for fashion, fabric, paper products, unique personal projects or whatever your — I’d love to hear from you.

Thank you to the wonderful teams in Alberta and Nova Scotia for trusting me to contribute to your collections, and thank you to everyone who has worn, gifted, or celebrated these designs.

Stay tuned for more creative collaborations in the future!
