Pattern Plus was born from a deep desire to create something both simple and profoundly strategic for surface pattern designers. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what’s inside the membership and how it’s helping over 4,000 members gain clarity, save time, and make consistent progress in their businesses, without the overwhelm.

I share the core problems we’re solving: the stuck-ness that comes from not knowing what to prioritize, the overwhelm of too many scattered resources, and the time loss creatives often face just trying to figure out what to do next.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:

• The Monthly Industry Kit: Practical tools like professional mockups, social media prompts, business templates, and AI tools—delivered monthly to help you work smarter, not harder.

• The Licensing Brief: A real-world opportunity to pitch your designs to a dream company each month. Even if you don’t submit, working through the briefs strengthens your portfolio and professional skill set.

• Pattern Magazine: A quarterly digital publication packed with inspiring, strategic content across lifestyle, business, productivity, and creativity. It’s visually stunning and thoughtfully written.

• Quarterly Trend Reports: 35+ page guides packed with color palettes, themes, motifs, and typography forecasts to spark collection ideas and save hours of research.

• Monthly Coaching Sessions: Deep-dive conversations with me on the real challenges creatives face, giving you personalized insight and support.

I wrap up the episode by zooming out to the bigger picture: how Pattern Plus is helping members reclaim their time, protect their energy, and stay focused on what matters most. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing the right things. And it’s all organized to meet you where you are, so you can make progress without pressure.

Whether you’re building your portfolio, pitching your work, or just trying to stay consistent—Pattern Plus was made for you. I want you to know it’s a toolbox, not a finish line. You get to use it in your own season and at your own pace.
