Art Licensing & Collaborations
Let’s bring something beautiful to your shelves.
Hand-illustrated artwork rooted in story, color, and detail—collections that begin with a motif or feeling and expand into patterns and illustrations designed to live seamlessly across products.

Noteworthy Collaborations
Hi, I'm Amita
I’m a surface designer and illustrator rooted in two worlds: my Indian heritage and the Pacific Northwest I call home. Both shape the color and pattern in every collection I create.
As the founder and illustrator behind Amicreative, a product-based brand carried by retailers nationwide, I understand what it takes for artwork to succeed on a real product, and I bring that perspective to every collaboration.
My work has received industry recognition, including a Louie Award–winning greeting card and a 2025 Artist of the Year nomination. I collaborate with companies through existing collections, custom artwork based on creative briefs, and licensing partnerships. I welcome opportunities to create thoughtful, story-driven work that feels both elevated and accessible.
Licensing FAQ
What is art licensing?
Licensing lets a company use my artwork on their products for an agreed time, in agreed categories. Think of it as renting the art rather than buying it. In return, I receive a royalty or flat fee based on the terms we set together.
What's the difference between exclusive and non-exclusive?
A non-exclusive license lets you use a design on your products while I remain free to license it to others. An exclusive license gives you sole use of a design within specific product categories for a set period.
Is your work available for buy-outs?
Sometimes. I consider buy-outs case by case, so please reach out and tell me about your project.
Who owns the copyright?
I retain the copyright and ownership of all my artwork. Buy-outs are considered individually.
How much does a license cost?
It depends on the length of the agreement, the product categories, and the artwork itself. Send me a note about what you have in mind and I'll put together terms that fit.
Do you create custom work?
Yes. I love working from creative briefs, whether that's an all-new collection, adapting an existing design to your palette or product, or developing artwork inspired by a theme you have in mind.
