Hello!

I’m Patricia Zapata, a graphic designer and artist based in Texas. While paper has long been my main medium, I’ve recently expanded into painting. My work explores flowers and organic shapes, balancing color and form in ways that feel both playful and graphic. I’m the author of Home, Paper, Scissors and Adventures in the Garden, and my work has been featured in national and international publications, as well as on TV programs where I’ve shared my craft.

Creative and leadership coaching

My passion for creativity doesn’t stop at making—it extends to helping others nurture their own. After years of leading design teams in the creative industry, I went back to school to study leadership coaching, blending my experience in creative leadership with the tools of coaching. Now, I work with fellow creatives to help them navigate blocks, build confidence, and grow in both their work and their lives. If you’re curious about working together, let’s connect and see if we’re a good fit.

  • A place to start

    You decide if you want to embellish the finished projects or not. They're all shown in solid colors so that the core of each project shines on its own. Take the creative reigns with patterned paper, embellishments, and colors.

  • Clear instructions

    The projects that require more involved assembly come with step-by-step instructions and recommendations to make your project a success. Videos will be coming soon.

  • Versatile projects

    Many of my projects have more than one application. Artwork that's used for the front of the card can become wall art, a stencil, or the background of a scrapbooking page. It's up to you!
