🚀 Learn to create your own stunning patterns in just 2 days in Pattern Camp!


Hey Reader,

If you haven't heard the news yet, Pattern Camp is back, and I'm super pumped to let you know that registration is NOW OPEN! 🎉

Have you ever wanted to learn how to create those amazing repeating patterns you see everywhere? Well, now you can, and FAST—in just 2 days! Whether you’re a total beginner or just looking to polish your skills, Pattern Camp is designed to be fun, effective, and perfect for everyone.


Imagine this:
​
Instead of spending 6 weeks or 8 weeks in a long, drawn-out online course, you could show up for just two laser-focused days and walk away with all the skills you'll need to know to confidently design your own beautiful repeating patterns in Adobe Illustrator. TWO DAYS!

Here’s why you’ll love Pattern Camp:

  • Learn Quickly: You’ll master repeating patterns in just a weekend.
  • Everyone’s Welcome: No experience? No problem! This is for all skill levels. Even if you've never touched a design program before!
  • Interactive and Fun: Engaging lessons, built-in implementation time, community support and accountability, and real-time guidance.
  • Super Fast Results: You’ll leave with beautiful finished patterns, a real sense of pride and accomplishment, and the skills to start building a portfolio and putting your designs onto products!
    ​

​

By the end of camp, you’ll be able to:

🔥 Create beautiful, professional-quality repeating patterns

🔥 Have confidence in using Adobe Illustrator like a pro

🔥 Be part of a supportive, creative community

🔥 Access all lessons for a full year – you can revisit your camp memories anytime!


>> Mark your calendar for the weekend of August 3 & 4. <<

👉 Register now to save your spot in Pattern Camp.

Registration closes August 2nd.

Don’t wait until the last minute to register!

Why? Because I made a bonus Adobe Illustrator Primer video for you, so you can get a jump start on familiarizing yourself with how the program works before our Pattern Camp weekend begins. There's a Procreate Primer video, too, showing you how my very favorite iPad drawing app works!

You can start learning, getting excited, and meeting your fellow Pattern Campers as soon as you sign up. :)

Come join me for a high-energy weekend packed with creativity, inspiration, and mega-learning. I can't wait to see the amazing patterns you’re going to create!

What past students are saying:

Hi Reader, Ever have one of those weeks where you feel like you're moving through molasses? You know spending some time being creative would help, but it feels like your inner artist just... wandered off without saying goodbye? Yep. Same here. I know I’ve been sharing quite a few offerings lately — and if your inbox is feeling full, I get it. But this one is really special, and I’d be so happy to have you join me. The Making Zen Online Retreat kicks off on May 26th, and it’s basically a big,...

Hi Reader, I returned home on Sunday from teaching at my friend Carrie Schmitt's Art Is Love retreat, and I've been easing my way back into my regular rhythm the past couple of days, trying to go slow even though my mind is starting to churn with all the familiar chatter about all the things I need to do or haven't done or aren't doing right and on and on. Hello, busy mind! According to Carrie, your mind can't think thoughts when you're humming, so maybe I'll try humming more...? I don't know...

Hi Reader, Happy Tuesday! How are you? Things here are full and busy, with work stuff and life stuff and kid stuff and all the things. I wrapped up Pattern Camp this past weekend (it was so fun!), the Variety Show with my friend Sarah the week before that, and next week I'm headed to St. Helens, OR to teach at my friend Carrie Schmitt's Art Is Love retreat.
