Instructor's Courses

I’m Maja Faber. A pattern designer, teacher, and creative entrepreneur from Sweden.

I love to create and I love to teach! And I LOVE to share what I know with other creatives, who are on their journey to live the creative life of their dreams.

My creative journey started with me believing that I couldn’t draw and sitting at my job as a marketing manager, having this itchy feeling that I was meant to do something else with my life. In 2015 I found surface pattern design by a chance, got instantly hooked and what started as a hobby soon became a dream to start my own business one day. Fast forward a few years and here I am today - a creative entrepreneur, surface pattern designer and online educator.

I share my full story of how and why I started my own business when you subscribe to my newsletter, so if you're curious - hit subscribe.

My passion lies in simplicity and I truly believe that it’s the simplest things that bring the most beauty and joy, both in life and in art.

P.S. That I love to teach really isn’t a surprise to me as I’ve previously worked as a sailing instructor, sailing the seven seas (no joke) and taught complete beginners how to sail huge tall ships. But that's a whole other story :)
