Yes, I want the glow-up!

Feeling stuck with your surface designs?

You're not alone.

You’ve taken the courses. You know how to build a repeat. But your designs still aren’t standing out - on Spoonflower, in pitches, or in your portfolio.

They look... fine. But something’s missing.

Sound familiar?

Your motifs feel a little flat or repetitive
Your repeats don’t have that pro-level rhythm
You’re not sure what’s keeping your patterns from getting noticed

Let’s fix that.

This FREE WORKSHOP will show you how to take your existing skills and level UP - with just a few key shifts.

After applying what you've learned in just the first lesson, you will be able to see a marked improvement in your designs.

After Lesson 2 on layout and composition? The improvements keep coming!

And then after Lesson 3 - that's where the magic happens.

I want to level up my patterns!

You may be wondering...
Is this for me?

✨This is for you if...

You’ve got the basics down but your work still feels a little amateur
You want to start creating stronger, more professional surface patterns
You’re not getting traction on POD sites like Spoonflower
You’re not ready for another massive course, but you do want results

🚫Not the right fit if...

You’re brand new to surface design and still figuring out what a repeat even is
You’re looking for beginner tutorials on how to use Illustrator or Procreate
You hate whimsy and are allergic to art with heart
You’ve already absolutely perfected every pattern you’ve ever made (teach me your ways?)

If you’re a late-stage beginner or emerging designer ready to stand out - this is your moment! Let’s glow up your designs.

I can't wait to watch!

No fluff.

No gatekeeping.

Just the good stuff. 😘
