Here at Rebel Romance, we love to work with small illustrators and artists, especially those who are full of personality, nostalgia and an extra touch of magic!

Jen James Design ticks all the boxes and more! As a surface pattern designer and illustrator, Jen brings a serious passion for nature, animals, florals and retro inspired colour palettes to all her work.

Like many creatives, Jen began her journey charging next to nothing for her hours of heart filled work. However over time, her style evolved, blending nostalgic charm, retro inspirations and love for nature, and work picked up!

In 2021, surface pattern designing took the main stage in Jen's creative work which then led her to working in exciting collaborations with brands such as Molke, Run & Fly and more.


We’re incredibly proud to have Jen as the artist behind our latest Cottagecore Collection at Rebel Romance. Her beautifully detailed print is inspired by whimsical florals and brings a cosy, folky countryside feel, now features on our stretch dungarees and flared pinafore dresses. It’s a celebration of slow living, nature, and the joy of dressing in the same ethics.
All of Jen's work is created with love, heartfelt creativity and a touch of humour. From delicate florals to halloween frogs, her designs are instantly recognisable.

Whether you’re wearing one of her designs or admiring her illustrated world online, Jen’s work brings joy, comfort, and a dose of nostalgia.
