Designer Partnership · Onboarding

Welcome. Let’s get the work moving.

This form collects everything we need from you to start the partnership: the pattern direction, the community space you’re nominating, the assets we’ll build your landing page around, and the logistics that go alongside.

It’s long. Most of it is short answers. Take it in one sitting if you can, but nothing here is final — we’ll refine on the kickoff call.

Fields marked with * are required. Everything else, fill in what you have now and tell us the rest on the call.

About you

This becomes the written piece on your landing page. Four short paragraphs, in your own voice. Three to five sentences each is plenty. We’ll edit lightly, not rewrite.

Who you are and what your practice is*

Who you work with and why

How you think about a room

Community or social work you believe in

I’d rather talk through this with you and have you draft it. Skip the textareas above.

Visual assets

Paste a link to a folder containing your headshot, an install photo (a project you’ve done — this holds your page until your community install is finished), and any portfolio shots you’d like featured. Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, Are.na — your call. Make sure it’s set to anyone-with-link.

Asset folder link*

Inside the folder, label files clearly: headshot.jpg, install-1.jpg, etc. We’ll grab what we need.

Anything we should know about the assets

Pattern direction

Direction for the five patterns we’ll build together. No required format here — tell us how you think, in whatever shape is natural to you. We’ll firm this up on the pattern kickoff.

Aesthetic and mood

Moodboard / reference link

A Pinterest board, an Are.na block, a Drive folder of refs — whatever you use.

Color direction

Motifs to build from

Program commitments

These are the parts of the partnership we’ve agreed on. Tick to confirm before submitting.

I’ll design five wallpaper patterns over the year, in collaboration with William Morris Wallpaper. I commit to a community-space install. William Morris donates the wallpaper. I lead the design and fund the install. My page on williammorriswallpaper.co and the William Morris page on my own site go live at the same time. 20% commission on every sale of my patterns, 10% off the William Morris catalog for my own projects, free samples from my patterns — these are the program terms I’m signing up to.

Anything else you want us to know

We’ll confirm receipt by email within a business day.
