Designer & Illustrator

Cecilie Okada, a pattern designer, illustrator, and graphic designer, represents her life journey in her work. A Norwegian by birth, Cecilie spent the early part of her adulthood setting up orphanages for disadvantaged children around the world. It is through these experiences that she manages to bring an angelic whimsy to her pieces. Cecilie uses soft colours and clean patterns from her Nordic heritage and blends them harmoniously with shapes and themes of different genera to create scenes from a childlike wonderland. Illustrations, elegant floral designs and cute characters are all part of her repertoire. Her work has been published internationally including Scandinavia and Japan.
