The Chronicles of a Fellow Designer

A monthly letter for surface and pattern designers who are done waiting to feel "ready."
Whether you're just starting out, stuck somewhere in the messy middle, or a few years in
and still wondering when it gets easier — this is for you.

What you'll get...

One letter a month. No noise in between. Each issue is a mix of three things:

Real talk and practical advice

Helpful, interesting blog posts, podcast episodes, and videos from other artists and designers that I've filtered out of all the noise for you, plus a bit of my own experience along the way.

What's happening in the industry

News, hot discussions, trends in the industry and the market, special events, challenges, art calls, and all the things worth knowing about, without having to dig for them yourself.

Behind the scenes

What's actually going on in my business that month. The deals that worked out, the ones that didn't, the struggles and the successes, new things I've tried, collections I've worked on, and the newest collaborations.

The creative industry is noisy enough already.

Think of this newsletter as one thoughtful letter a month to help you stay informed, keep things in perspective,

and discover something you might have otherwise missed, so you can close each issue feeling a little less overwhelmed and a little more excited about your own creative path.
