Hi!, I'm Katie, the one behind Darling Kate.

Darling Kate was created from a love of beautiful things—the kind that make everyday life feel just a little more special. As a wife, a mother of four, an artist, and the heart behind Darling Kate, I know how busy life can be. Between school runs, laundry, family dinners, and all the little moments that fill our days, it's easy to forget to slow down and enjoy the simple beauty around us.

Creating has always been a part of who I am. For more than 10 years, I've worked as a surface pattern designer and illustrator, painting florals, illustrating charming patterns, and designing collections that celebrate timeless femininity. Over the years, my artwork has found its way onto countless products, but I always dreamed of creating a place where every design reflected my own vision from beginning to end.

I've always believed that surrounding ourselves with things we love can make an ordinary day feel brighter. Whether it's a cozy sweatshirt covered in pretty florals, a handmade pouch, a favorite tote bag, a notebook that makes you smile, or a mug you reach for every morning, those little touches of beauty matter.

If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for all things pink. Flowers, bows, pearls, gingham, vintage charm, and timeless feminine details have always inspired me. Every collection begins with my own hand-painted artwork or original illustrations, thoughtfully created and carefully refined into patterns and designs you won't find anywhere else.
