Listen Later

Starting something new can feel overwhelming, whether it's launching a creative business, diving into surface pattern design, or simply beginning a passion project. There is a whole lot that goes on in our minds and hearts that can create some stall.

In this episode, artist and educator Kristi Westberg of At The Dot Design shares her journey from graphic design to rare book conservation to becoming a fabric designer and Skillshare instructor.

Kristi opens up about the mental hurdles of taking the first step, how setting realistic goals helped her build momentum, and why imperfect action is often the key to growth. She reminds us that progress rarely happens overnight, but consistency and patience can change everything.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, afraid to start, or overwhelmed by perfectionism, this episode will give you practical tips and encouragement to move forward, embrace the process, and build confidence along the way.
