your pattern designs are going unnoticed

And You're Unsure How To Take Them To The Next Level 

But Right Now You're Struggling To Reach The Success You Desire because ....

You're a creative at heart and have a vision for your designs- but somewhere between the ideas and execution you're hitting a wall.

You feel like the market is saturated and standing out is more challenging than ever.

You know you need more than cookie-cutter feedback; you need personalised critique so that you can elevate not only your designs but yourself as a designer.

You may be finding it hard to balance your creative side with the demands of running a design business.

But you know that if you don't treat your business as a business, then you'll end up with a whole lot of designs sitting on your computer gathering dust. 

You dream of selling your designs but you are hearing crickets instead.

You have been working hard at your craft, you’re creating amazing work but you’re just not reaching success no matter how hard you try


You are feeling overwhelmed & frustrated with not achieving success in your design business 

your pattern designs are going unnoticed

And You're Unsure How To Take Them To The Next Level 

You're worried about what other people will think of your work so you're staying hidden in the shadows.

You don't feel like your work is unique or special enough and you're being your own harshest critique.

You want everything to be perfect and if it's not you feel like a failure.

And you know that you need to work through the your creative blocks but you're not sure where to start.

self-doubt is creeping in and you're struggling with staying positive

your pattern designs are going unnoticed

And You're Unsure How To Take Them To The Next Level 

But it won't happen by chance

Or if you continue doing what you are right now

and you're wondering...
is success even possible?

Yes, success is possible for you.

You are a great teacher and generous with your knowledge

- Jasmin

A very big thank you for your wonderful course. It has been a fantastic experience & one I enjoyed immensely.  I think you are a great teacher & are very generous with both your knowledge & creative talent. I could not imagine anyone else offering what you do & delivering to the same standard. 

Constructive feedback to help us grow

- Leslie

Before I joined I was skeptical. I had never taken an online course before but I just wanted to do it so much that I tried it. I'm just so glad I jumped in and did it.

I think one of the greatest things about your program is that you provide feedback. We can do the trainings on our own time and then put them in front of you and you always have constructive feedback to help us grow. That's just so valuable to have your eyes on that.


But maybe you're thinking

What's going to move the needle is having, feedback, critique, support and accountability so you can grow yourself and your creative business.

'I've tried other courses, and all of the things and I'm still not getting anywhere...

OR the market is saturated so what's the point...

OR I can just do this on my own...'

But, here's the thing...

To be successful there's more to it than that.
You can take all of the courses, watch all of the You Tube videos, do what other designers are doing but that's not going to bring you success.

I help amazing women create beautiful pattern designs and collections in their own unique style, build their own creative businesses and step into the thriving versions of themselves.

Having completed a Bachelor of Textile Design and working  in the textile and surface pattern design industry since 2004, and having experience teaching surface pattern design at a leading university, I have developed a proven system.

I have been able to use culmination of all of my experience to mentor and coach hundreds of creatives through my courses and offerings.

what artistic level do i need?

As long as you are able to put pen to paper, you can succeed in the course. It’s all about developing your own personal style. For some that will be intricate and lifelike motifs while for others that could be abstract and textural motifs. You will be given lots of different techniques to help develop your design skills and flourish as a designer.

What tools do I need?

The bonus course 'Pattern to Product' contains tutorials in Illustrator CC and Photoshop CC so you will need access to one or both of the programs (depending on your preference). You can use earlier versions of the programs too however all tutorials are demonstrated in Adobe CC.
It’s up to you whether you want to want to work in both programs or just one. I do recommend taking the time to learn both in the long run.

You’ll also need a computer of course:) and any drawing or mark making materials that you are interested in exploring.

How Long Will I Have Access To The Bonuses?

You will have access to the course content for the lifetime of the courses
