Negin Designs

Designer of bespoke wallpaper, textiles, and interiors. Native Waltz wallpaper and textile collection available now exclusively from Emily Ziz Design Studio. I am an illustrator, surface designer, and printmaker from Sydney, Australia. At university I studied mechanical engineering, and later a PhD in biomedical engineering. After completing my PhD, I spent a decade working mainly in the academic sector, and then… I had children. In 2014, I made a complete 180 degree career change after having my second daughter. I decided to follow my passion for illustration and printmaking, and Negin Designs (my third child) was born. I now design wallpapers and textiles for the interiors market specialising in bespoke large scale murals, depicting botanical paintings, birds and other animals. This year, I launched my first wallpaper and textile print collection, “Native Waltz”, with Sydney-based design studio Emily Ziz. The collection celebrates the unique beauty and diversity of Australian native flora and fauna with striking large scale murals all illustrated by hand. Being a scientist, I take a very technical approach to my art making, I believe a deep understanding and knowledge of your subject matter are the key to a successful design.
