Shikha Sharma is a talented Surface Pattern Designer, Textile Designer, and Illustrator hailing from the vibrant city of New Delhi, India. With a passion for art that began in her early years, Shikha has dedicated herself to the world of illustration and hasn't looked back since. Her preferred tools of creation are the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, which allow her to bring her artistic visions to life. In fact, most of her designs are crafted using these digital mediums.

Shikha's artistic style is a testament to her love for color and meticulous attention to detail. Inspired by the beauty of nature, she often finds herself captivated by the grace of birds, butterflies, and blooming flowers. Animals, in particular, hold a special place in her heart, ranging from adorable bunnies to majestic big cats. They frequently take center stage in her designs, becoming beloved characters that infuse her work with charm and personality. As a testament to her affection for animals, Shikha shares her life with two beloved pets: Chelsea, a lovable Golden Retriever, and Mishti, a charming Shih Tzu.


For Shikha, every print she creates tells a unique story through the design process. This journey involves carefully selecting colors for her collections while remaining attuned to the latest trends from WGSN. She meticulously considers which elements to incorporate into her patterns and imagines the perfect products to showcase them. The research phase of this creative process is what truly excites her, often surpassing the thrill of the final outcome itself. Shikha finds her true passion at the intersection of form, function, and aesthetics. She honed her skills and expertise by studying Textile Design at the prestigious National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi, nurturing her dream of becoming a Print & Pattern Designer from the very beginning.

As Shikha progresses on her creative journey, she is steadily achieving both personal and business goals she set for herself. Currently, she licenses her prints and patterns to various global brands, embracing the digital realm. However, she aspires to establish a small business of her own once she reaches a specific milestone on her Instagram platform. Her dream is to offer physical products adorned with her exquisite patterns, ranging from enamel keychains, pins, stickers, and embroidered patches to tote bags, magnets, and notebooks. Furthermore, Shikha envisions making a meaningful impact by donating 5% of each purchase to support animal-related causes. This dream embodies her deep-rooted love for animals and her desire to contribute to their welfare.

With each design she creates, Shikha Sharma continues to carve her path as a talented Surface Pattern Designer, Textile Designer, and Illustrator. Through her unique artistic perspective, passion for animals, and commitment to making a positive difference, she is steadily turning her dreams into reality.
