  • Description


    This class is built on the idea that everyone is a creative, but not everyone has the tools and mindset that support their special flavor of creativity… yet. That’s where this class comes in!

    In this class, you’ll learn new ways to kick creative block to the curb! Discover how to tap into your creative intuition and rejuvenate your art practice through a series of experimental exercises you can use as starting points for new surface pattern designs. 

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Get into a flow and release judgement so you can create your best work

    • Evaluate your initial sketches and build new ideas upon them

    • Build your creative confidence and develop your artistic voice

    • Edit and refine your work into beautiful, polished surface patterns to show off to your audience and potential clients

    Each of these experiments are designed to be used over and over again while delivering a new result every time, making them timeless tools you can incorporate to your creative practice.

    After each experiment we’ll discuss techniques and methods for refining these sketches into beautiful patterns for your portfolio.

    Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned surface designer, this class will give you renewed confidence that you can find inspiration anywhere!

    At the end of this class, you’ll be on your way to a fresh new collection of surface patterns to show off with confidence.

    Instructor's Courses

    I’m an illustrator, surface designer, and educator exploring themes around human connection & belonging, body image, and how modern society impacts our relationship to nature. My creative process involves experimental techniques and mixing media to feed my endless curiosity for finding new ways to express an idea. I love playing with ways to translate our inner worlds into visual, interactive experiences.

    In my classes, I'm passionate about teaching art and creativity as a tool for growth, connection, advocacy and purpose. I believe that everyone is creative, and my classes are designed to help you deepen your connection to your own unique creative potential.

    I’m obsessed with color, beautiful landscapes, true crime podcasts, travel & adventure, and the complex experiences that connect us as humans. Past clients include Crate & Barrel, Kroger, Jamberry, PicCollage and Soma Water. 

    I recently created a free guide to show you how to find inspiration anywhere, and you can grab it here.
