132: One Small Habit That Can Transform Your Surface Pattern Design Career


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels—trying to update your portfolio, pitch to clients, post on social media, and somehow still find time to create—this episode is for you.

Today I’m sharing how I’ve built real momentum in my surface pattern design business… not by doing more, but by doing less—more consistently.

I’ll walk you through how one simple micro habit completely changed the way I pitch, how I use this same approach to nurture clients at The Print Book, and why building self-trust through small actions is the real secret to building confidence as a designer.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to:

  • Choose one big focus that matters most right now
  • Reverse-engineer it into a small, doable daily habit
  • Build confidence and momentum by keeping small promises to yourself

You don’t need to overhaul your entire business to make progress. You just need to start small, stay consistent, and let those tiny steps stack over time. ✨
