About Me

Hi, I'm Erin Furgason, the creative mind behind Bold and Brash Designs. My journey began as a chemical engineer, but my passion for creativity led me to become a surface pattern designer and artist. I've always loved experimenting with style, color, and design, constantly pushing my own boundaries to create something truly unique.

My work is a harmonious blend of warmth, refinement, and bohemian charm. It is often infused with a biophilic touch that brings nature into the heart of many of the designs. I enjoy designing repeat patterns for wallpaper, murals, home decor, and other products, all with the goal of transforming spaces and sparking joy. In addition to patterns, I design refined linocut-inspired prints, capturing various motifs including mountains, plants, and florals. Lastly, I also enjoy creating commissioned pet portraits, where I have the opportunity to capture the unique essence of beloved pets.

I'm always open to new creative collaborations and love the opportunity to license my patterns. If you're interested in working together or commissioning a custom pet portrait, I'd love to hear from you.
