Engage or Collaborate with Maggie

I'm an artist and designer who specializes in creating hand drawn patterns that are both beautiful and functional. The process starts with a conversation. I want to know what you're looking for and what your creative vision is. From there, I'll work with you or your team to create the perfect custom pattern for your creative project, business or brand.

Holt Renfrew

Canada's leading department store, Holt Renfrew, got in touch to commission a unique artwork for their holiday campaign.

Canada is a beautiful country, with landscapes and wildlife that can't be found anywhere else in the world which inspired the toile de jouy pattern that I create by hand for them.

The pattern is designed to be timeless and able to be used in many different ways. It featured extensively throughout Holt Renfrew's shopping floors, on displays, stationery, wallpaper, window, and a curated selection of luxurious products like these Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Love Silk

I adore natural fabric including silk. It is my absolute pleasure being able to collaborate with Love Silk NZ to create my first silk slip dress with them. There will be more collaboration projects with Love Silk NZ coming up.

MEO™ & The Public Water Project

Lilah McDonald was 10 when she started a project called The Public Water Project. It was in early 2020. The mission of the project is to bring more water taps and fountains to public places within Auckland, reducing the use of plastic bottles and decrease the consumption of sugary drinks.

I was honoured to be able to collaborate with Lilah and MEO™ Air. Together, we created a limited edition kids face mask named “Lilah’s Dream”. The face masks were available to purchase on 15 March 2021 with all profits from the first 2000 units sold going to the Public Water Project.

Testimonials

We engaged Maggie Lam to create a uniquely themed wallpaper for our two bookstores. She is a delight to work with, very responsive to our ideas and with a keen sense of how to interpret the effect we were trying to create. She kept us informed at every step of the way and we are totally in love with what she produced. Maggie provided us with the total package from concept to installation, nothing was too much trouble.. we couldn't have asked for more.

Tony Moores - Poppies Books Howick & New Plymouth
Thank you Maggie for all your hard work on this with us, it’s truly appreciated. This print really will allow us to be fun, whimsical and impactful for the Holiday season and we cant wait to share where things lead us. Thank you for partnering with us on creating this beautiful custom print.

Jess, Manager Art Department - Holt Renfew
Thank you for the pattern mock-ups for our duvet cover, the design is looking very good. Thanks, Maggie again for your help with this project. We’ve really enjoyed working with you and looking forward to the production getting underway.

Flaxfield Linen
I commissioned Maggie to create a greeting card for my business Passion For Paper in September. Throughout the creative process, Maggie was very attentive and checked at each stage that what she produced was in fact what I had in mind, which it was. This process was very helpful, as I have not commissioned work in this way previously. Maggie’s attention to detail and care to create a perfect image, in this case of New Zealand native birds, is incredible. I am beyond happy with the result of what was an idea conceived in my mind over the course of eight months, and it is a delight to see my idea come to fruition in a way that has surpassed my initial concept of how it might look. It was a great pleasure to work with Maggie, and I hope to work with her again in the future on another project.
