Bespoke critique
You can access bespoke and individual critique and be given real and actionable steps on how to elevate your work. This alone is worth so much value and is what is going to give you HUGE shifts and the ability to really elevate your designs and yourself as a designer.
Each week you have the opportunity to submit your work for feedback and you will given a loom video showing you exactly how you can up level your design. Clients I have worked with have found this invaluable in being able to not only improve the design they submit but also future designs as well.
I will personally be giving the feedback. It’s not outsourced to anyone else and this is something that isn’t offered in other programs like this. This feedback is very individual to the work you upload and the feedback you receive is thoughtful and honest but given in a very kind and caring way.

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.
