Who built this platform, and why did you build it?

We at BorderLeap have been creating relaxing, award-winning puzzle games for Apple platforms for over a decade. While our small, core team is based in the US, in Texas and Virginia, we have dozens of developers, designers, artists and musicians worldwide that we collaborate with on a regular basis to help bring our games to life.

In 2019, we released our game Patterned to the world in the Apple Arcade platform. Patterned is a unique puzzle game that immerses you in the beauty and joy of seamless, repeating patterns. It's literally chock-full of beautiful designs, handcrafted by talented artists from around the world.

We've worked with dozens of talented pattern designers over the past 5 years, and developed some great relationships with each. Over time, we've learned many of the goals, desires, needs and challenges each designer faces. These relationships have inspired creation of Patterned.com, a portfolio platform designed exclusively for real pattern designers, free of AI.

What is the goal of the web site, Patterned.com?

We understand the struggles that artists face with AI-generated art growing and infecting many popular pattern design sites, portfolio platforms and print-on-demand services. Our goal is to help pattern designers specifically find and have a safe place to showcase their work, free from AI. However, it doesn't stop there. Our platform is also designed to help artists build community with other like-minded artists, find new revenue streams, and be a resource to help artists support and build their career in surface pattern design. Very soon through our platform, artists will be able to establish relationships with brands for new projects and work.

We're committed to this journey with you and we're excited that you're here 🙏
