About

Hello, I'm Malavika.

I'm a painter and designer who works in two very different ways. By day I design digital products, where every pixel has a purpose. The rest of the time I'm outside with a sketchbook and a travel palette, painting whatever the light is doing.

That habit of working from life is what shapes the licensing collections. The shapes stay observed and specific even when the palette turns bold — and the designer half makes sure what lands in your inbox is production-ready and on deadline.

More about me

Licensing

What I license

Non-exclusive by default. Category-exclusive and territory-limited terms are welcome — tell me what you need and I'll work with it. Royalty or flat fee, depending on the category and the print run.

Working together

How it works

No agent, no gatekeeping. You talk to me, and I turn work around quickly.

01

Enquiry

Send the form below. The more you can say about your product and timing, the more useful my first reply will be. I answer within two business days.

02

Selection & terms

I send the full-resolution designs for review, along with a simple licence covering term, exclusivity, territory, category and fee. Custom colorways at no extra cost.

03

Production files

You receive layered source files, seamless repeats as both single tiles and full-size artboards, and colour specified in hex and Pantone — set up for your printing method.

04

Support through print

I stay available through strike-offs and proofing for colour adjustments, scale changes and layout tweaks, so the first run comes back right.

Get in touch

Tell me what you're making

Whatever you fill in here, I'll answer with files, terms and a number — so the more of it you already know, the shorter the back-and-forth. And if you're still at the wondering stage, the message box on its own is plenty. One sentence is enough to start.

Tea towels, jigsaw puzzles, wallpaper — whatever the artwork would end up on.

It changes how I separate and prepare the artwork.

When you'd need artwork in hand.

Name the specific designs if you already have them in mind, plus anything else that would help me answer properly.

I'll reply by email, usually within two business days.
