February 2026 Portfolio Review:

Lizzie Clark Designs

 

It's our very first portfolio review of the year, and Lizzie Clark of Lizzie Clark Designs was brave enough to go first. Thank you, Lizzie!

In this recorded review, I walk through Lizzie’s portfolio in real time (first impressions and all) and share honest, kind, market-focused feedback on:

  • Which patterns feel strongest for hospitality and contract markets

  • What might need adjusting for residential interiors

  • How color impacts market placement

  • Common repeat mistakes (and how to spot “lines and holes”)

  • What buyers actually notice (but don’t always say)

If you’re a surface designer hoping to break into interiors, textiles, or home decor, this is a behind-the-scenes look at how a buyer/designer with 30+ years of experience evaluates work.

It’s practical. It’s specific. And it might completely change the way you see your own patterns.

If you’d like to be considered for a future free portfolio review, we are offering one each month throughout 2026.
