The Repper app is an online pattern making app with a very intuitive user interface. With Repper, geometric pattern making becomes easy, fast, lightweight and accessible to all. It is my favourite art tool to turn to after a busy day. Check out my Repper Introduction post here to find out more.

Procreate is a design app that’s now used by many round the world, including professional designers and artists. The app is available on mobile phone and iPad. Many use it on the iPad. It’s a fantastic app for drawing, illustrating, digital painting, pattern design and more.

Affinity Designer is a vector design app that’s part of the Affinity suite. It’s an alternative to Adobe Illustrator. I have used both Illustrator and Affinity Designer and my heart today goes to Affinity Designer because I love the anchor point experience it offers on the iPad – the app can be used both on the iPad and on desktops – and the snapping tool experience it has generally speaking.
