Australian designer Kevin Brackley creates surface patterns inspired by the beaches and natural beauty that surround him.

Based in Sydney, his style embraces both analog and digital media, whether it be painting with watercolours, sketching with ink, or digitally refining and manipulating artwork for a variety of products.

Kevin’s designs often embrace an exuberance of colour, or explore a more Scandinavian design aesthetic. Drawn to both flora and geometry, he aims to instil a sense of joy and wonderment in his art. 

There’s a new trend spreading around the globe, and it’s from Sweden, again! Yes, those Nordic Vikings who’ve given the world so many things already...

In the 1970s, it was ABBA. They made Eurovision famous in 1974, remember! When they finally faced their Waterloo in the early 1980s, Roxette was there in the wings at the table of talent.

In the latter part of the 20th Century, IKEA became a household name, challenging other global empires by showing people the world could be flat after all!

What’s in a tray? Many things, actually. Our materials can include timber, fabric, varnish  – not to mention style, nostalgia and much more.

In the big wide world of trays, there’s almost an infinite variety out there. I know. I’m constantly exploring to see what’s around.

Co-founding THETRAY.SHOP with mum a few years ago, you could say that since then, I've gone a little bit trayzee.
