Is the surface pattern design market too crowded to break into? 

In this solo episode, Canadian artist and educator Delores Naskrent gently unpacks this common fear — and offers a refreshing, hopeful perspective.

Delores shares why now is still a wonderful time to explore surface pattern design and how tools like Affinity Designer can make your workflow more intuitive, enjoyable, and productive. She walks you through:

✔️ How to carve out your niche in a busy market
 ✔️ Why Affinity Designer has changed the game for her design process
 ✔️ The magic of reusable motifs and smart templates
 ✔️ A behind-the-scenes peek at her Bloom and Repeat workshop
✔️ What to expect inside the Surface Pattern Design Masterclass

Whether you’re just dabbling or ready to go all-in, this is a grounded, encouraging listen filled with practical insights and personal experience from someone who knows what it’s like to start later in life — and keep growing.
