Meet Elsabe

I was a graphic designer for many international brands, but most of my contracts ended in 2024 and I was unsure of what 2025 would hold for me. I looked at my calendar and it was empty, and I decided this was a sign that I was supposed to take my dream of being an international Surface Pattern Designer seriously. I worried I was not going to learn as much since I was already a designer and knew Illustrator really well, but boy was I wrong. This course upgraded all my skills.

I was also nervous to invest, but I would say this is the best investment I have made in my life. I got a clear plan, I filled up my calendar for the year, I had vision, I had direction, and I knew how to aim for my dream. The best part of the course was sharing it with others. You never feel alone. You have people that get excited with you and go through it together. The course is fully packed and I filled my beautiful handbook and many notebooks with a huge amount of educational content. I loved the live calls and the bonus guest content. It deepened me, it motivated me, and it transformed me.

I gained skills in Illustrator and innovation, but most of all the skill to make it a full time career. I graduated, studied for the test, got the certification, and started building an upgraded portfolio. I pitched it for many months, and I persisted in believing in my dreams. One has to know that it also takes hard work and faith after the course to consistently go for your dreams, but then in the fall, I got interviewed and in 2026 I will be getting my first licensing deal. Most recently, in November, I got another email from another company that wants to work with me in 2026 as well.

I am looking forward to learning each day, making a living making and creating, and being a full time Surface Pattern Designer and living out my dreams.
