The day the light bulb went on and I realized a person had created the pretty patterns I saw on fabric, clothing, rugs, stationery... I remember thinking:Ā "why didn't anyone tell me this was something I could learn how to do?!"
I didn't know where or how to begin, and I set out on a longĀ adventureĀ of teaching myself how to use Adobe Illustrator, design patterns, license artwork, andĀ ultimately to create a career out of it.
ButĀ it doesn't have to be a long road for YOU! I'll help youĀ skip the frustration that I experienced whenĀ learning the program so you can get right to the fun part ā designing.Ā Let's do this!
