“The most powerful element of the course for me was the opportunities that arose to properly connect and communicate with other designers sharing the same learning process. Seeing fellow designers progressing and sharing each of the course exercises online served as great motivation and encouraged me to fit the course into my day. It was also a real eye opener to the fantastic talent and level of skill of other designers, and set the bar high in terms of the standard of patterns I aspire to create in order to secure clients and future opportunities”.

“For me, the most powerful element of the course was learning how to observe collections in the marketplace and identify what elements tie a collection together, be it through theme, color, shape, etc. With this insight, I can now apply these principles to my work and create a cohesive collection of my own”.

“The most powerful element of the course was learning about how other designers create and sell their designs for a wide array of product categories. It has pushed me to think beyond the marketplace I currently work in which is fabric design. I am excited to explore other options including tabletop and stationary and who knows what else”.

“This course has given me not only the tools but specially the support (wonderful community both M1 and M2) I needed to grow and develop as a designer.
I’m finally doing what I love and that has come with a deep personal confidence growth, Thank you”.

“I’ve learned so many great things in Module 2! But what has stuck out to me is, no matter what your style or ideas are within surface pattern design is that there is room for everyone. It is such a inspiring community of people who are constantly sharing and learning from each other”.
