“For me the most powerful element of the course has been the insider information Rachel has given us of the design world… her own experience of trade shows, how best to prepare for them, first hand steps and tools to be a successful surface pattern designer, product mock ups – the course has literally blown my mind. And I thought module 1 was good! I feel more confident in my designs than I ever have and it is 100% down to this course.” – Niccy Felice

We are really pleased to showcase the beautiful work from our very talented Module 2 students of ‘The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design (the e-course) who took the course in November 2013. Here are some our fantastic students & the work they have created over the 5 weeks in class.
“I have found this course so rewarding. I had been working away freelance and was in desperate need of some guidance. The course provided that support as well as invaluable industry tips and advice on how to move forward with the next step of my career while continuing to be inspired to create new and exciting work.” – Eilidh Muldoon
“Rachael is charming and presents tons of valuable info throughout the course. I loved the section on putting together collections. I’ve already put my new knowledge into place and strengthened my portfolio.” – Emily Emerson
“The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design has given me the confidence and the tools I need to pursue a career in surface pattern design. More than anything passion, hard work, and a willingness to learn will get you where you want to be.” – Carolyn Greifeld
“Discovering this course and its supportive community has boosted my design confidence no end and really helped me to finally start turning thoughts into action.” – Helen Cauvy
“The insight and information about trends was the most powerful element of the course. Everything clicks into place for me!” – Saskia van Cleef-Megens
“The most powerful element of this course for me would have to be creating collections. Before I would create random one off prints, now I spend more time planning out how I can create prints that not only work well alone, but also work well with other prints within a specific collection” – Joanne Paynter
“This course has given me confidence in my own ability and imagination, and the belief that I can make it in the freelance world, which is the ultimate goal. I have really enjoyed the interviews from industry experts.” – Gracie Fox
