Ariana Martin is a pattern designer and printmaker based leafy South Yorkshire. Her work blends a love of 20th-century design with a fresh, modern sensibility—resulting in patterns that feel both timeless and playful. With a background in Interdisciplinary Textile Design and a MA in History of Design, Ariana draws deeply from her research into the work of often-overlooked designers of the past.

Ariana’s distinctive, considered style is central to several of Archivist’s most loved products, including patterned greetings cards and our tissue paper collection. Each design reflects her deep appreciation for historic crafts, colour, and prints—reimagined for contemporary life.
