Indico Designs is the creative brand of Fay Nye, a freelance illustrator and surface pattern designer working from rural Shropshire, England. Her practice begins with hand-drawn sketches and watercolor motifs, which she refines digitally to create detailed, whimsical compositions. This process allows her to maintain the tactile quality of traditional media while preparing her work for diverse applications in textiles and stationery. Deeply influenced by the historical Arts & Crafts movement, Nye focuses her work on the natural world. Her portfolio highlights British flora and fauna, a theme that has led to commercial textile collections such as "Pond Life" and "Day on a Farm." These works reflect her surroundings in the English countryside, translating local wildlife into intricate repeating patterns.
