I would recommend the Immersion course as I found the value for money was definitely there, and as a matter of fact, I would consider taking it a second time as alumni because I enjoyed it that much. I am looking forward to pitching patterns this year for paper products as well as more prints of my artwork and playing around with the idea of selling through a gallery as well.

I was a fine artist/photographer for many years before I took the Immersion plunge. I waited a year to join because I needed to be sure I would find the value for the money – I joined Flourish to begin to find out more and did Bonnie’s Skillshare classes in the meantime.

I am comfortable designing a pattern in illustrator and using it for much more now as well, such as designing graphics for websites, etc. I have been a bit slow to feel like I am ready to license but am getting there. I met wonderful people thru the mentorship and they have helped me with defining goals and having the confidence to move forward.
