Licensing: Let's Work Together
Hi, I’m Kate Frantz, the designer behind Statement Species, a nature-inspired design lab where science and art meet. My surface pattern designs are created from microscopic imagery and real-world specimens, revealing the hidden beauty of nature’s most incredible species. If you are interested in licensing my designs on your products, let's talk: hello@statementspecies.com

DESIGN PROCESS
MICROSCOPIC WINGS
I looked at a butterfly wing under a microscope and created a kaleidoscope-like pattern colored to match the Blue Morpho, Tiger Swallowtail, Monarch, and Marbled White Butterflies.
BUTTERFLY SPECIMEN
The design features black-and-white silhouettes of real butterflies and moths, crafted from actual photos. Stripped of color, their natural geometry comes into sharp focus like delicate etchings or stamps from the natural world.
BUTTERFLY MARKINGS
The Butterfly Spots pattern echoes the natural markings found near the edges of butterfly wings. These spots serve a purpose: they draw predator attacks away from vital organs, helping the butterfly survive.

WHY MY PATTERNS STAND OUT
STORY DRIVEN
Each design tells a story and connects consumers to a real species, giving your products depth and meaning.
EMOTIONAL APPEAL
Captivate customers with the beauty of nature and the sense of wonder it evokes.
REALISTIC
Each pattern is created from true-to-life forms, not AI or stylized stock art.
UNIQUE
Few designers create with a microscope as their lens!
VALUES-ALIGNED
My work celebrates and supports causes rooted in sustainability, education, and conservation.
WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH ME DIFFERENT
A BUILT-IN AUDIENCE & ECOSYSTEM
Statement Species is more than a portfolio. It’s a growing movement of people passionate about the intersection of science, art, and design. Partner brands join this ecosystem and instantly gain visibility with a values-aligned audience that already knows, likes, and trusts my work.
DIRECTORY INCLUSION
Your products will appear on the Statement Species website alongside my own products and other collaborations. While the site looks like a standard ecommerce store with recommended products, category filters, and featured items, your products will link directly to your store for purchase.
STORYTELLING ASSETS
Each pattern comes with ready-to-use narrative material you can incorporate into your marketing, packaging, or web copy.
SHARED MARKETING MOMENTUM
Since your products are part of the Statement Species directory, promoting our brand also promotes yours. We feature partnerships in emails and on social media, and share photography and visual assets whenever possible.
