How To Pitch Your Surface Pattern Design To Companies


Listen Later

I'll be honest—pitching your surface pattern designs to companies can feel downright terrifying. I’ve been there and I know how difficult it can be to hit send on an email! 

It’s intimidating to put your work out into the world and face the possibility of rejection. But every designer feels that way, and you’re not alone!

In this episode of the Design & Shine podcast, I’m sharing tips and actionable steps to help you pitch your surface pattern designs with confidence.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your process, I’ve got you covered.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✨ Why you shouldn’t limit your pitching to companies in your own country (think global!) ✨ Key things to consider when preparing your portfolio to make it irresistible. ✨ How to find the right companies to pitch to—because not every company is your perfect match. ✨ The importance of creating a repeatable system for pitching (and tips to build one that works). ✨ The mindset shifts you need to pitch successfully and keep going, even if you hear “no.”

If you’ve been holding back from sharing your surface pattern design portfolio with the world, this episode is for you!

And if you’re ready to take things a step further, don’t miss my FREE workshop: My Simple Process to Turn Your Art from a Hobby into Profit.

In it, I’ll teach you the secrets to creating successful surface pattern designs and building a thriving creative business.

Let’s get your work seen—and sold!
