My interview over at Surface Pattern Design Community Facebook group: getting started as a designer, microstocks, passive income.

I have just been interviewed by amazing Jen from Surface Pattern Design Community Facebook group. It was really fun as we discuss creating passive income and a thriving client business designing repeat patterns for microstock and print-on-demand websites. Click to watch the interview here.

We talked about:

– How I got started as a self-taught textile designer.
– How I used microstock and print-on-demand websites to create passive income and support her family full time.
– How I customized Adobe Illustrator in unique ways with custom templates and actions to speed up the growth of my portfolio 15x and save a lot of time doing it.

To watch this video you need to become a member of Surface Pattern Design Community facebook group, which is a free group with awesome resources. I am so happy that they reached out to me! This week they are having an awesome repeat design pattern contest and one of the winners will win a scholarship to my upcoming repeat pattern design courses. There is still time to participate! 🙂
