Maria Galybina

I'm Maria Galybina, a surface pattern designer based in Lisbon. For over 17 years I've created botanical prints and illustrations for textile, fashion, and lifestyle brands worldwide.
My work runs on a visual language of my own: color, composition, and detail shaped over years of practice. Plants, animals, tropical and exotic species, the abstract motifs I find in nature.
This is the world I keep coming back to.That world comes into my work as collections: a coordinated set of repeat patterns with illustrations and lettering, ready for a whole product line. I follow fashion and interiors closely and bring what resonates into my own style, so the work stays current and mine.
Lisbon's gardens, greenhouses, and botanical collections are my studio outside the studio.
My cat moves with me wherever I go, a quiet companion through every collection.

For brands: I license designs from my portfolio and develop custom collections on commission. I value long-term collaborations that grow season after season.
