Hello!
I had the amazing opportunity to speak with Elizabeth Silver about my experience in her Start Your Surface Pattern Business course. Click here to see the video, and click here to read about her classes and join the course yourself! (At this writing, SYSPB is open until April 12, 2024, so if you are reading after this date, follow me on social media to learn when the class opens again. However, you CAN check out her other courses which are equally amazing!)
I joined the course last summer. I had taken her Successful Licensing Collections class and felt confident to begin promoting my work and reaching out to art directors either for licensing or freelance opportunities. There are many classes available for beginning surface designers, but I was drawn to Elizabeth's candor and directness, as well as her vast experience, in the industry.
What you are going to get when you sign up is tried and true advice and direction on how to build and market your portfolio, learn who and how to contact with your work, and most importantly...how to follow up!
What I gained from this course was the confidence to approach new opportunities and learn ways to get past that dreaded IMPOSTER SYNDROME!
I would never support something I do not personally use or believe in. If you have a portfolio of marketable artwork and are looking for the next step, you must look into Start Your Surface Pattern Business
